The traffic sphere (A MEmorial Prototype)

From tourism to traffic sphere,Ulmer always starts us to think something more.

The humanistic ideal he incarnated in EM is in the role the public sphere plays in meditating the relationship of private citizens with the state, which he believes has declined owing to the entertainment media esp. the television(33). Therefore, the proposal of exploring the possibility of the monumental electronic, by taking use of digital technology and the Internet in particular in a "counter-public sphere" becomes the priority in the reestablishment of the community formation and identity.

Like Obama's "yes, we can", according to Ulmer, everyone can do his part in the revival of a thought in helping convert a personal loss or tragedy into the focus to the public sphere of collective value.

Inspired by the meditation on "Traffic Sphere", here is my mini-movie:

The title is TRAFFIC ALARM. Instead of any bloody scene of traffic accidents, the movie invited an unpleasing music as the alarm sound accompanying the traffic signs to signify the warning of danger. Besides, the record of transportation in addition to the the comparatively static exhibition of the rule violation of the drivers and the broken parts of the vehicle indicates the theme or purpose of the mini-project.

However, after uploading, I can still see great space in improving the video. Hopefully, we could draw nearer to the really powerful electronic monument with deliberately furthering every mini step.
