bb's Video Press: Videos are the way to present information, community identification, poetic expression, and as well, revelation. Common uses of video are meant to entertain in the mass consumption fashion of Hollywood (Los Angeles) or television production (New York). The pre-emptive power of American Culture is firmly based on these sources. All video expression is an emulation of these ways of visualizing and capturing the minds of people everywhere. Contemporeality here, is bb's recognition of a development in video coinciding with computer communication technologies, primarily advanced by capabilities in the Apple Computer and the webcam, the demise of religious text and expectation, for as we now know, the emergence of a true American Spirituality (The American Spirituality Community). This was identified in the 19th century by the Concord writers, Emerson and Thoreau, but never gathered as a community of thought until now. As such is seen by the expression of world view in the unique individual, flipping the pyramid of authority, to the needs expressed by the people, for ALL PEOPLES everywhere: X.
