Cyber Manifesto: (Almost) Final Cut

Check out Prum's complete cut of "Yes to Each Other: A Cyber Manifesto"!  This will probably be our last round of edits before Prum finalizes the piece, so do weigh in now before May 9, 2013.  (Please note that the image quality suffered slightly in video compression, so while certain parts are somewhat pixellated and grainy, it is not to the extent that we see here.)

Yes to Each Other: A Cyber-Manifesto

FEEDBACK QUESTIONS:
(1) How do you feel about the trajectory of the piece?  Is there anywhere that your attention lags?  If so, do you have ideas for how to fix it?
(2) What is the meaning/content that you get out of the work? What do you understand about PNC from the work?
(3) How might you imagine this video being used?  (For example, as introduction at a lec-dem, promotional material, screening at film festivals, as part of live performance...)
(4) Any other thoughts and/or requests for changes? (Does it aesthetically gel together?  Are there any small tweaks we can do to make it stronger?)
