That's disappointing. A song that embodies inclusion gets edited. : The World's Fair

  • the version released on iTunes had completely edited out every element of the deaf choir's performance. Which is a shame really - because I thought it was actually the best part of the song. Now it sounds like a decent but otherwise mundane version of the song.
  • Of course, this begs the larger question. Why would Twentieth Century Fox (the ones who produce the television show as well as release the music for purchase) feel like the parts with the deaf choir would not merit a listen? It's puzzling really - is the music buying public that averse to this sort of thing?

Personas | Metropath(ologies) | An installation by Aaron Zinman

  • In a world where fortunes are sought through data-mining vast information repositories, the computer is
    our indispensable but far from infallible assistant. Personas demonstrates the computer's uncanny insights
    and its inadvertent errors, such as the mischaracterizations caused by the inability to separate data from
    multiple owners of the same name. It is meant for the viewer to reflect on our current and future world,
    where digital histories are as important if not more important than oral histories, and computational methods
    of condensing our digital traces are opaque and socially ignorant.
