You are effectively talking to me via your "this" (web-cam, another mediator besides air) .A "non-essentialist" accepts that reality is (at least partially) reflexive, so you are (co-)creating reality, not just being a passive observer. Via YouTube, you can make new friends even across the globe, and/but there is nothing to stop your usual friends from seeing what a freak you can be on YouTube. 'Virtual' reality is a part of 'real' reality.

I think Baudrillard would've enjoyed a lot watching this video...the MIRROR moment, also seen in the conference-videoproject of Wesch is ... as the discover of 'the holy moment' in André Bazin's words, ... M. Wesch with his team (with you) are doing a great job. THANKS.

Talking in real life...talking to youtubers, hmmmm. Soon, talking to youtubers must be considered as 'real life'. Youtube, the net is part of our realities. We already designed what 'mask' put to go on youtube, what mask we like, and what dislike, as in 'real life'. Is talking to the phone 'real life'?.Yes, of course, but once upon a time this question was crucial. Talking to an individuum you don`t see was kind of traumatic at the dawn of telecommunications.P.S I like you. Really

Well for myself I just think there is not just one reality there is many of them and we adapt ourselves to wich one of them. We have many identities too and it's not just an youtube thing. You don't act the same way if you're talking to a kid or a policeman or with you're boyfriend, etc. Are you acting because of that ? No, you just choose the more appropriate part of you're personnality, you adapt. Well that's my opinion. |
