This, That and the Other: Flagfall

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 23:29:03 GMT

A bit of comedy I crafted for the final part of my Web Directions South 2008 closing keynote. It is adapted from Das Untergang, perhaps the best film about Hitler ever produced. A few months ago, a number of different mashups using this scene (wherein Hitler learns the battle and war are truly lost) have been scored to different dramatic situations. My thanks to the producers of that film.

Those Wacky Kids

Sun, 08 Jun 2008 11:39:00 GMT

Keynote from "The Digital Education Revolution", Adelaide, Monday 2 June 2008. All about kids, hyperconnectivity, and the gap between how the kids communicate today and how we try to educate them in the classroom. It's equal parts rant and storytime. Seemed to go over very well. The text for "Those Wacky Kids" is available at http://blog.futurestreetconsulting.com/?p=56 Many thanks to the Australian Council for Educational Research, Education.au, and Kerryank for making such a great audio recording of my talk!

Becoming Transhuman: Part 2 - Denying

Tue, 27 May 2008 06:47:01 GMT

My film magnum opus. Part Two. This is the first place where I ever publicly began to articulate the idea of "hyperempowerment" and the problems it would bring. It presents a particular vision of history which contrasts with the utopian/extropian version of Part One. Please note that there is no video image (it's black) for the first 90 seconds. This is not a mistake. There are "interregna" - pauses to catch your breath - between the various parts of Becoming Transhuman. Just sit back and wait: There's a sequence in here - you'll see it when it comes - that took me a week to complete!

Becoming Transhuman: Part 3 - Resolving

Tue, 27 May 2008 06:11:01 GMT

The conclusion of my film magnum opus. It does go on a bit (I am aware) but I reckon it worthy for all that. I'd put it better today - and likely will, at BOOM Festival.

Becoming Transhuman: Part 1 - Affirming

Tue, 27 May 2008 05:35:01 GMT

This is my video magnum opus. It took 3 months of editing. Even today, seven years later, I am still very happy with it. Voice over recorded live at the premiere, MINDSTATES 2001. This entire work is, in some sense, a good-bye note to my friend Terence McKenna, who passed away a year before the premiere of Becoming Transhuman. It is his voice - and his quote - you hear first. Becoming Transhuman is presented in three parts. This is part one. For an up-to-date scientific exploration of the ideas in part one, visit http://spectrum.ieee.org/singularity You may download and share this any way you like. I claim no copyrights whatsoever over it. For reasons that will become clear.

Natural Selection

Mon, 26 May 2008 22:26:01 GMT

First of my two keynotes from MINDSTATES Costa Rica, I talk about the idea of "natural selection" - as simultaneously developed by Alfred Russell Wallace and Charles Darwin, then apply it to fields far from biology.
