In chapter three, Michael Rush points out an artist David Goldenberg video of projected images secluded space of audience members from surveillance cameras. Act of voyuerism is prominent in these type of video installations author states “surveillance, a type of spying, has interested artist and fascists alike since the birth of video technology” which is interesting take on intrusive content. Made to feel uncomfortable about the idea of always being watched similar to the Truman show starring Jim Carrey. Where lives in a made up world created by other people and continuously monitor him all through out his life. But with meddling involved.
This weekend I went to an awesome record store in Seattle called Easy Street Records. Man oh, oh man was I was in vinyl record heaven, at first glance the store had some records, merch, and cafe. And I was a little excited to fully know to expect, so I checked out a few bins seeing that it was a marked sale. And some rows wrapped around the upper level which was small but it had a whole lot of vinyl records. Words cannot explain the feeling in a record store and a great one for that matter. But what made this store worth the trip was the number of rare records that you cannot find at Best Buy, Barnes n Nobles, Wal-Mart or Adventure Land Comics store. This place is my top favorite record store aside from RIP "Off the Record" which unfortunately went out business.
