Today’s lesson (yesterday’s lesson; refer to previous blog post(/s) about being slack, and attempting to find (and fail) the need to blog ASAP) taught me that our technical media (cameras, recording devices) are nonhuman, indifferent sampling machines which still leaves me with questions. Our devices may not be concerned with what they record and can’t discriminate based on this, but ultimately who presses record? Who sets the 5 minute interval timer that captures these whales? Who assembles the footage into an actual ‘documentary’?

Johnathan Harris seems like an incredibly interesting guy (I hope one day he comes knocking at my door and chronicles a story about how we are long lost relatives) and part of me aspires to create something as he has done.
