Video: Le Grand Content - The phylosophical potential of Powerpoint culture
It’s been a while since, but just some time ago I was highly fascinated with the concept of “l’écriture automatique”. I had heard about this in dramaturgy class (yes, that’s something you didn’t know about lloyd), and as far as I understood it was a mindset in literature, where writers would just let loose of everything and start writing, going with the flow.
After the introductionary classes I kind of got into the concept and night after night forced myself into writing pages, packed with this absolute non-sense flow of conscience. This was before I started blogging. Eventually I got sick of it, but I still find it a concept worthy a try.
(For the readers who ever took courses in literature; I might have given the whole concept my personal twist, if so, I beg your pardon)
Why am I saying all of this? Well, whilst reading one of my favorite blogs “Presentation Zen” I came across this next video. After having seen it, it reminded me of the stream of consciousness approach to literature. Apparantly the makers are two German students who were on a quest for the phylosophical potential of … the Powerpoint culture!
Highly amazing indeed, but seriously, this is brilliant! The fact that it seems to be dedicated to Mary is a nice extra: A Film by Clemens Kogler together with Karo Szmit. Voice by Andre Tschinder.

The name rings a bell yes. Maar ik heb eigenlijk geen namen onthouden van de docenten. Enkel l’écriture automatique en de stream of consciousness
