The Videopoem started off orignanlly as a cable access known as the graffittti bridge...the whole concept was the idea of making graffttt on themainstream wall...to create and achieve an identity in a homogenized world whose interests are dicateted by an insensitive corporate world. It was ahead of its time. The idea of walking around with a camera and making your own media and posting to the web was just in its infancy then. It was a long way from the social media world we have today with high broadband access and smartphone penetration. It was also a quest for transparency and to give voice to ideas completely ignored by the mainstream media. This was when mainstream media still had the workable business model of advertising. How funny is that?...Look how the mighty have fallen...The show became the Videopoem when I moved it down to NYC and didn't want to compete with another show called The Bridge. It ius a Videopoem because I use imagess assembled to tell a sotry...Videopoem also because since it is cross purposed with the web so it has the potential to go ciral and at time it has...the show runs into a problem where it is hard to get people's attention because people have been brainwashed to watch corporate media...they want big time productions with obvisou storylines filled with celebrities. The videopoem doesn't provide that...It's just me mixing on a mac. Someitmes thoiugh I sneak the video camera in and do tape some big names and put them on the hsow. I have always stood for the frew flow of information. The idea of graffitti is the sense disupting the authority of those who would stp that flow of information....
