Description If the sound bite is the new order, then how do we make every word count? In today's world of virtual clutter and communication overload, LACONIA: 1,200 TWEETS ON FILM, offers 21st Century aphorisms on film and popular culture that resonant with laconic meaning.
If the sound bite is the new order, then how do we make every word count? In today's surplus world of communication overload and cultural clutter, writer and cultural critic Masha Tupitsyn turns to the media matrix of to explore the changing ways that we construct and consume narrative. Loosely applying the discerning aphorism-a compressed genre in itself-to a 21st century context, LACONIA: 1,200 TWEETS ON FILM offers meditations on film and popular culture that resonant with laconic meaning and personal insight while getting to the heart of the matter. Inspired by Chris Marker's free-associative film impressions in La Jet ee and Sans Soleil, LACONIA is part film diary, part cultural inventory, and part mashup. Pulling from an array of film, popular culture, books, and mainstream news, it offers penetrating critical commentary on an increasingly muddled virtual world. LACONIA consists of brick by brick prose, as Tupitsyn thinks in sentences and lines that culminate in an architecture of thinking.
