Camera reality
I love this animation by Chris Ware from Showtime's This American Life.
It so clearly tells the story of how media changes society. Or rather, how the power to create media changes social dynamics.
Why does trouble always start in the "art room?"
Just so you know, the real story was about some schoolkids who goofed around and made one or two silly, fake video cameras out of card board boxes and toilet paper tubes and then they acted out "filming" each other around the schoolyard. The story goes that this game caught on fast at the school, and had an unfortunate outcome.
The school later responded by banning the cameras.
It's a short animation version of the cable TV show This American Life, and it's very good.
