I think this video is rather brilliant. It highlights the disconnect that can happen with all of us involved in the social media craze. The thousands of connections we maintain, the carefully biased self-promotion, the editing and deleting of thought. I realize the irony of me posting about this on a blog, a video from Vimeo that a friend on Facebook shared. And I'm very involved in social media. I post, share, tweet, and slap a filter on it just like every other privileged child of the modern era. But I must admit I routinely feel that sense of being adrift in space. A space between the past and the future that never touches the present, a space between acquaintances and celebrities, a space between conversation and broadcasting.
