The Broadcast Machine software runs in PHP, allowing the easy preparation and distribution of video on websites. I wonder if this could be a solution for video-on-demand from the current web?
Cinegraphic.net is using this software to distribute it's new Vlog movies on-demand service.
Here are some questions that have been bothering me lately:
Why has so much technology-based culture gotten "stuck" in the 1970s? (The "best" albums for scratch, and most common samples all come from 1970s funk and disco.)
Does the continuous extension of copyright serve to prevent cultural innovation by allowing companies to continually recycle older creations where each new issue is essentially all profit, instead of funding new work?
Since 1950, a great deal of both high and popular culture are simply recycling earlier innovations: what is causing this cycle?
TechnoFrolics' Spin Browser "adds a new dimension to video-based art and entertainment by allowing uniquely fluid and interactive control over the progression of time within video sequences." This looks like something that we'll be seeing in museums showing video--the trouble is, it encourages the viewer to rearrange the movie, so unless the work's been designed for this kind of thing, it sounds like a bad idea...
