i found this one difficult. i spent the entire time reading the text and saw few of the images. the text didn't move fast enough, and i would forget from one frame to the next what i'd just read (maybe this says more about my aging brain than this video?). and i would wind up reading the things at least twice to hang on through entire sentances. it had such a specific lingo that the text demanded all my attention. what of the images i saw kept me wondering how they were intended to work with the text.
i thought that maybe the problem was exactly the point. that perhaps we are too busy trying to digest so much in terms of media specific language changes and an endless bombardment of images that we really only get bits and pieces no matter how hard we try. but this conclusion feels like a leap since missing a piece of the text left me flailing until a new thought began, and the images didn't help direct me to a new meaning or to what i had missed.
