Einiges in der Mache für morgen?
Wall Street Protests not photoshopped
Workin’ on it as I am typing, u can tune in from 11 am EST/17h MEZ via live stream here – anybody heard ’bout the protests on Wall Street in New York? Apparently somebody photoshopped a google earth pic 2 make the crowd look bigger – there is an interesting discussion about that right here. Just click the word “here”!
4 me, this is the most interesting comment, close 2 the 1 question everybody assessing the truthfulness of any publication should ask:
Who is profiting from the notion that the publications evokes? Who is the real author?
This is the comment (left by Jordan October 3, 2011 at 2:46 am)
“I think the real question for this community to get to the bottom of at this point is who is Jason Wettstein and did he even make this image at all? It looks like he stole the image from Scott Lickstein per @Terrence McNally’s comment, and then added his own clownish text commentary on top of it. The difference in writing styles b/w Scott and Jason are like night and day, and the all-caps, mangled grammar of the photo that went viral are clearly Jason’s voice and not Scott’s. Scott has a nice explanation of his work on his site that is not intended to deceive but rather to consciously provoke thought, as any good artist should. The difference in voice and professionalism (for lack of a better word) implies that the original thought provoking work is indeed Scott’s, and that Jason came along after and saw an opportunity to steal the work and create a troll-style image to go viral and provoke people in an unsophisticated, deceitful way.
The remaining question would be who is Jason Wettstein, is he real or a right-winger trying to discredit the movement, and what does Scott think about this? (and why hasn’t anybody – Scott of otherwise – tried to put out a version of the image w/ a different text that is true to the original intent?”

This is 2 let y’all know that the playlist 4 April is coming soon, but also really interesting show on CBC radio 1 Winnipeg, about the arts and how much and in which way the are or have been part of party policies – did u know that CTV and CBC both have a challenge b4 the courts 2 show that Canadian current law prohibiting the reporting on the numbers of votes b4 election day is actually UNCONSTITUTIONAL?
Couldn’t help thinking, how different the communication models and assumptions about political opinion forming seem 2 be:
Existing law favours traditional media channels and party advertisement – top-down delivery.
With popular social networks such as Twitter, the law is basically impossible 2 be enforced and with these channels spiking out and achieving 3-dimensional connectivity of any of their members, the possible intake and distribution of information is not only widely branched with a 4th dimension, because now we can get 2 the info, WHEN WE R READY 4 IT – moreover, the uni-direction of delivery opens up in2 more of an exchange – now that literally is empowerment of the people 2 me –
I guess the journalist in me can’t help thinking the more different and from each other independent sources, the clearer the picture…
repeats 2nite @ 10 pm. CBC.ca/Q
Much more 2 be said here, yet I need 2 do the playlist. Good day!

Update March 28 2011 6.23h pm
I got to double check the map and had to correct direction of marching protesters from “north north east” to ” north north west”. To illustrate that better, I embedded said map into this post below.
Slowly there’s the footage of Saturday’s Solidarity-For-Bahrain-demonstration surfacing: March 22 2011 3.05h am
http:// www.youtube.com/ watch?v=vL-ev0J57DY two space bars make the link address visible in this post
now here u see exactly, how the protest moves north north west on Sussex Drive, with the US embassy on the right, and the Ottawa river up Sussex in the viewer’s back, approaching the second stop after parliament, the Saudi-Arabian embassy. The movie ends, with images shortly before the crowd crosses onto the river side of Sussex Drive, just at the curve to the East where that road has 2 follow the river for a while, if I interpret that correctly – what do you see?
music, bands, good times!
