Very interesting and thoughtful article on the subject of fan-made videos, with some humbling compliments on my Arcade Fire video:

It’s one of those bits of almost magical audiovisual synergy that argue most persuasively for the music video’s status as an art form, and almost immediately after it was released it was reposted across the indie blogosphere, accompanied by breathless commentary in praise of its genius. The band and its label could hardly have hoped for a better reception for a video.

Thanks Miles.]]> http://jtylerhelms.com/2008/04/chicago-reader-the-genius-of-c.html http://jtylerhelms.com/2008/04/chicago-reader-the-genius-of-c.html Projects arcade fire body cage chicago news newspaper press video Tue, 15 Apr 2008 14:30:56 -0600 Human Rube Goldberg Machine
