[s2n] Yochai Benkler

Yochai Benkler of Yale (and, Charlie Nesson says lightly in his introduction, he hopes someday maybe of Harvard) begins with a video of DangerMouse's Gray Album, which mixed the Beatles' White album and Jay-Z's Black album.

Then he shows something "not so complimentary": "The Mashin' of the Christ." It mashes clips from Jesus flicks on top of a "Christianity is stupid. Communism is good" soundtrack.

He gives an example of using these techniques to critique the media representation of news from CapedMaskedAndArmed.

He shows a couple of others, but I didn't get enough info to be able to link to them. Anyway, they were impressive examples...

D'oh! Thanks, Donna. I corrected the misspelling in the entry.
