From the Salon editor: Saying this, the obvious direction of the salon is
towards the philosophical discussion of moving images, whether cinematic or
televisual.
Please steer all messages towards this focus.
There will be a fine time to resume a ``philosophical discussion of moving
images, whether cinematic or televisual.'' This, however, is not that time.
Artists, athletes and others are taking a break from their work to pause for
a period, to consider what has happened. The discussion in this group (like
every discussion in every group everywhere) has simply, naturally followed
from events far bigger than us--events that are likely to change paradigms.
I sense a general and proper distaste in this group to delve too much into
the meanings and uses of video during Tuesday's tragedy. The discussion will
flow where it will, and it is flowing toward bigger ideas than the mere
Media. At least, one hopes for the meantime that it will.
