Reading 08: Reality Hunger – Manifesto

David Shields, (not affiliated with The Avengers) talks a lot about collages. The reading was interesting because it was chopped up, making it easier to read instead of chunks of paragraphs, I wish more readings could be like this one. It’s kind of funny too. The reading itself in fact was trying to prove his collage point, because it was bits of pieces of different things put together. I get a sense that Shields is the kind of person that is into Abstract movies because he says h0w stories do not need to happen for a reason and he seems to despise plots too.

I like collages. Photo collages for example, they’re random, often funny and can be powerful. They take out the good stuff from different texts and combine it to make an ultimate(?) text. Korsakow is like collaging since we combine small videos to create this project that has the similar/same theme.

Some stuff from Tumblr…
