How could a User Defined Self Replicating Documediamentary (UDSRD) produce itself?

To gain a better understanding of the history which is being produced, media programming which has been re-edited to user defined parameters could be beneficial. Utilizing media repositories (online video archives like archives.org or youtube) which have video/audio media linked to transcipts which could be parsed to produce a redefined output. For instance, if the user wanted to learn how a certain term was being used, over a certain time frame and to see how this usage differs between news casts verses user created content. Two pieces, of user determined length, could be self generated.

Another example could be if someone wanted further explanation on the evolution of a news story. After watching the 6 o'clock news, which often has little depth on any topic, an individual could ask this system to recreate a wikipedia entry of the evolving news story by using the previous media broadcasts.

These systems could also be used for near instantaneous fact-checking.

What is the 'Revenge of the Sith - 133t trailer'?

The Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith 133t trailer is a fan edit of the Official Star Wars Episode 3 Revenge of the Sith trailer which included burned in subtitles which interpreted the trailer's dialog into 133t sp33k. 133t Sp33k (Leetspeak - Elite Speak) is a character replacement alphabet supposedly used by h4xx0rz (hackers) but most likely is a system perpetuated by alternative typing enthusiasts. A Cease & Desist from Lucasfilm Ltd. on 4/25/2005 applied the legal pressure which resulted in the website http://nuar.lunarpages.com/video/SW_mirrors.htm removing the content.

What is Operation D-Elite?

Operation D-Elite was a joint venture of the F.B.I. and U.S. Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement against the individuals behind the bit torrent tracker, EliteTorrents. The action was caused by the early released workprint of Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith, which was tracked by EliteTorrents. This workprint would eventually become the backdrop for 'the backstroke of the west' subtitler. The individuals behind the leaked workprint and the operators of the torrent tracker have been sentenced to prison, home arrest and fines.

Why is the DVD / disc file name 'PIRATESWEB'?>

In reference to 20th Century Fox's policy of code naming the DVD releases of movies after female names, (Revenge of the Sith was code named 'Charlotte') on some message boards the disc was incorrectly associated to the name Charlotte's Web. So in reference to this ephemeral the disc has been named 'PIRATESWEB'. This rumored 'PIRATESWEB' versions is Region 6 - China.

Honoring a grand tradition, 'Thee Backsplacpkping with Media' incorporates a perspective dissolving expositionary intro. Fortunately the various bootlegs of the cultures which found this documediamentary have manipulated the intro to suit their needs. The 3 hour 23 minutes presentation is divided into 384 '31 sec : 22 frame' segments laid out in a grid of 12x32. Thus if your into saving time, watching the scroll is like getting the visual cliff notes version of the backslacpkping.

What does this DVD believe it is About 1-6?

1. Documediamentary: A cross between a documentary and a media analysis. This project attempts to provide a different perspective on the recorded perception of the lead up to Revenge of the Sith. The media we consume has a peer review process which is limited. Society is inundated with a healthy variety of choices, but there seems to be a lack of reflection upon what we are being streamed. I hope others are given the chance to produce similarly constructed pieces which investigate how topics are portrayed in the media coverage. This kind of examination will not occur from the primary media producers. Technology in the form of computer, time-shifted television and other media recording devices will fascilitate productions of media creativity (through introspection by the previously passive audience, transformed into active media participant) the ideals of Permission Copyright Reform needs to be addressed. 2. Copyright Reform: "Permissions" Much of the current state of copyright, pioneered by corporate interests of the United States, can be viewed as a lost cause. The twentieth century will be remembered for the continuous expansion of restrictions (in 20+ year additive increments, until they surpassed an individuals life span) and the loss of the Public Domain. For anything to be remixed, reused, reincorporated or reinterpreted, the creator or proxi-owner must give their permission. (Even if it is a project to be viewed only by yourself in your own home) Proxi-owners rarely have the time or patience to honestly consider these requests. Our culture's health has stagnated through this lack of introspection. If these reuse requests are of hinderance to creators or proxi-owners then maybe an organizational body in the Copyright Office could review these permission concerns. 3. Edit Speech Society finds itself with the capability to make an audio/video quotation, as easy to complete and diseminate, as a textual quotation. 'Edit Speech' is a method of communication which deserves a layer of protection, either under the Fair Use doctrine or a new inspired set. Edit Speech is not about the reproduction of statements, but the creative reworking of existing speech fragments to derive new meanings/view points. The position in which one sentence fragment finds itself, after the act of editing, can change it's meaning and this is where Edit Speech finds its purpose. Although it may seem to be a luxury, Edit Speech in conjunction with translation technologies, will promote discourse between disparate cultures, which will be invaluable to every generation. 4. Cross Culture: Through inter-connectivity and some forms of globalization, disparate countries are able to view the cultural expressions of other countries. In this case, George Lucas's "Revenge of the Sith" found its way into the hands of an active subtitler with Chinese sensibilities. The resultant, "Backstroke of the West", provided an interesting view point into the mindset of cross cultural currents. Although the creator remained unknown and the desired goal highly debatable, BotW provided a view into the larger Chinese cultural landscape. Excitement, at least in some online forums, was tremendous. And interest continued until the subtitles were transposed onto the official RotS DVD. This interaction of 'Western' (Sith-i-sized) media and BotW subtitles, will no doubt lead to a better understanding of the disparate cultures, although each seemed equally absurd at first impression. 5. Media Understanding: Dissemination of ideas through visual and audio means has progressed since its infancy. Black and white cinema gave way to talkies, which progressed to television broadcasts on a handful of channels to cables' thousands of channels. In a media landscape where one minute of hard factual news is sprinkled through days worth of newsfauxotainment, entertainment programming, honest commercial time and Value-added cinema (product placement), the casual searcher of hard facts is at a great loss in this vast sea of information. Changing medias' output towards more factual means would lose some of its vibrancy, instead providing tools which allow the searcher added filtering capabilities is what the future of tv could be. 6. Future TV - User Defined Broacasts For those looking for a closer examination, the technologicallly supported Edit Speech can provide further insight into todays world. Within years, programs which recontextualize media into new presentations (which 'Thee Backslacpkping With Media' attempts to represent) could be commonplace. With the combination of cable/satellite/internet tv feeds, auto-transcribling services, free online video storage, and search engines; programs will be created which will sort and collate this audio/video information into self generating, user defined, goal oriented programming. Imagine after watching the 6 o'clock news, your not understanding what lead to the latest predicament, so you queue up the program which feeds the last 50 years worth of that 6 o'clock news and cross references those broadcasts with an encyclopedia entry on the topic of choice. The program then recreates that encyclopedia entry using the news' broadcasts. This basic type of media interaction as with many others could take place with the creation of User Defined Broadcasts.

What/Who influenced?

Where can 'Thee Backslacpkping With Media' be watched/downloaded?

Note : Archive.org has other formats available. (.Ogv for example) And their embedded media player will automatically start playing the next chapter. Also the Large Mp4 files on Archive.org contain the Audio Commentary Second Audio Channel. BUT The large Mp4 files were created by ripping the DVD with very limited compression so in total they are double the size of the DVD. If you want to hear the audio commentary of a few chapters then downloading them from Archive.org is the way to go, if you would like the entire audio commentary track, downloading the full DVD is the best option.

Help for downloading/recompiling/expanding/burning 'Thee Backslacpkping With Media'?

If you are having problems feel free to e-mail : p-l-1-x-@-e-a-r-t-h-l-i-n-k-.-n-e-t (pee el one ex)
If you are successful i'd be happy to know how you did it.

Step 1 : Downloading RARs
The RAR format allows a file to be cutup & compressed into separate files so that certain restrictions can be overcome. (In this case, file size limit and downloadability) You will need to download all the RARs, there are tools available to automate this process.

Step 2 : Expanding from .RAR to .IMG(age)
Once all the RARs have been downloaded you will need an extractor to unarchive them. Visit http://www.rarlab.com/

Step 2a : Problem unarchiving RARs
If you get an error when unarchiving, check to make sure your RARs were downloaded correctly. All the RARs should be the same size, ~50 megs, except for the last RAR which is smaller. If this is the case, there are a set of PAR files available by e-mail which should be able to fix the errors. You will need a program like QuickPAR (PC) or MacPAR deLuxe (Mac)

Step 3a : Watching .IMG
The TBSWM.IMG file's contents should be viewable on PC, Mac or Linux systems. Point your media playing software to the VIDEO_TS folder of the IMG. Recommmended is Videolan's VLC Player.

Step 3b : Burning .IMG
The TBSWM.IMG file is a ready to burn file format which should work cross platform on PC applications like NERO or Mac applications like Toast. You will need DVD-DL (Dual Layer) media.

Step 4 : DVD Player Viewing
The burned DVD should be viewable in most players. Unfortunately one problem with the disc is that in English DVD Players the defaulted Chinese Subtitles do not show until asked for. So please turn on Chinese subs when viewing for the first time.

What is a NoA? (Notification of Appropriation) How are they received?

A NoA is a 'Notification of Appropriation'. Typically an e-mail or letter, naming the previous artistic creation and newly modified artistic creation.

Example 'Thee Backslacpkping With Media' Notification of Appropriation (tBSWM NoA):

Subject : Notification of Appropriation [Turn On, Tune In, Veg Out] by %20 Notification of Appropriation ----------------------------- Material : New York Times Editorials/Op-Ed 'Turn On, Tune In, Veg Out' (oped@nytimes.com, letters@nytimes.com) Written By : Neal Stephenson (morrowmarketing@harpercollins.com) Published : 2005.06.17 This e-mail is to make whom ever it may concern aware that the New York Times Editorials/Op-Ed 'Turn On, Tune In, Veg Out' by Neal Stephenson has been reconfigured and reincorporated into 'Thee Backslacpkping With Media'. 'Thee Backslacpkping With Media' is a Proof of Concept, imagining a system which could search through online repositories of media and return a program of desired length on the user's topic of choice. tBSWM takes 40+ hours of media (700+ sources created by corporations, news organizations, individuals, bootleggers) from just around the release of the last Star Wars movie and condensed/recompiled that material into chapters on the underlying themes and memes of the 'Revenge of the Sith' coverage. FAQ for 'Thee Backslacpkping With Media' http://noneinc.com/tBSWM/tBSWM_FAQ.html Using a text-2-speech automation process, parts of 'Turn On, Tune In, Veg Out' have been incorporated into the second audio commentary track. (This option is only available on the full DVD, a copy can be sent to a supplied postal address.) If curious, Chapter Segments can be viewed here: http://noneinc.com/tBSWM/tBSWM_FAQ.html#DVDChapter I don't recommend watching it all at once, (if ever) look through the chapter titles and if one sounds interesting try it out. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Thanks for the media. %20

Notifications of Appropriation have been ignored 100% of the time. (current as of: 2009.06.21)

What happened when %20 took 'Thee Backslacpkping With Media' to the Open Video Conference?

The Open Video Conference (2009.06.19-21) was set up to pull together the individuals/entities which are developing video systems which supports unrestricted access, participation, reworking and other ideals associated with a more transparent society. One of the mottos printed onto t-shirts was:

1791 : Free Speech
1965 : Free Voting
1983 : Free Software
2009 : Free Video

Day 1 : Understanding the Situation
Having zero programming skills and not a firm grasp of where computer technology is in relation to the idea behind tBSWM of a system which could search/sort/cut-up/recompile media, %20 headed to the Open Video Conference to learn what's currently available.

The Open Video Conference is about the creation of a framework and platform for media creation and distribution which is unrestricted and available to anyone. Unfortunately tBSWM is burdened with restricted media, so I felt awkward about wasting too many people's time with my ramblings. Spent the first day going to the presentations and chatting with many receptive people about the project. But it seems that a search-edit-recompile system is several years away. One of the challenges to the movement is getting people to consider the open systems. The Ogg codec is the open standard equivalent of the closed mp4/h.264/flash systems which are used by the majority of online video repositories. When tBSWM first went up the video was in Ogg format, but whenever someone wanted to watch the project, there were issues with how to install the codec's and how to play the files. Mozilla announced at the conference that the next version of their software (3.5) would have Ogg playback built in, so that's one hurdle solved. On the search/edit front, two technologies were on display which could provide the foundation. Metavid.org, Pad.ma and Kaltura are systems for online video editing sites which allow anyone to edit open video sources. Both have the capability to search through existing subtitles/transcripts to find the relevant information, then the user can pull out the pieces to create new compositions. So the video search/cut/recompile system's foundation is being created and if there is interest, who knows but in a few years user created programming (video archeology) like experiences similar to tBSWM might be possible.

The pic is of the homemade disc made to give out. Went to Staples, shrunk the DVD artwork to fit a CD slimline case then laminated the print outs. Worked out well (even though most of the text is unreadable) since there was space above and below the artwork to show the DVD underneath where the titles and other information was written. [printed 44 of the laminated artwork covers, but only burned 25 discs, the price went up for whatever reason... Ended up handing out 23 discs over the weekend. More on that in Day 2, tentatively titled "It's hard to give away a free DVD at a Free Video Conference"]

Day 2 : Distributing tBSWM & Missed Opportunities Since I wasn't able to go to the final day hack-a-thon, decided to set up shop right there in the hallway. Found a bench between the conference rooms and the bathrooms where foot traffic would be highest. Acting as a strangely silent street bootlegger (with a violently bouncing knee and eerie grin, but I was sporting a Suckadelic Chinatown tee), I set out one of the Open Video Conf. t-shirts as my grab-and-go cloth and laid out the discs with a homemade sign (was this practice for my future homelessness?) proclaiming that the DVDs were FREE but there was a significant caveat that the viewers might want to know about. Worked out fairly well, spoke with many people who seemed to appreciate the search system recompiling idea, even though the product on display might not be to their liking. Go a big kick out of the awkward facial expressions/fleeting glances people gave as they passed my distribution center. Some people took one home, and we'll wait and see if they get watched. For my effort got a dollar from a possible new fan, the 'Support Creatives' Initiative at work! Was there for about 3 hours and 16 disc left my possession, about one disc every 11 minutes......

Well there were some pleasant surprises, Star Wars in some of it's myriad forms got periodic mentions in some of the lectures, so when I could those individuals got copies. (let's hope they're fans...) Got a chance to give copies to persons who actually appeared in tBSWM. But I blew a chance to have the %20 moniker more widely known. There was a change in speakers because one of the lecturers was called in to do some news media about the post-election Iranian situation. So the conference set up Peter Sunde, one of the founders of the Pirate Bay, as the closing lecturer. The introduction to Mr. Sunde was done by Alan Toner creator of "Steal This Film" and he mentioned the Elite Torrent takedowns. (Unfortunately, how the US population didn't come to their support, as the citizenry of Europe has done in the Pirate Bay case) So during the Q&A, I submitted a question by post-it note, but I neglected to attribute the question to %20. Could have had the moniker on the big stage... phuck. ...and unfortunately the answer to the question "Have you talked to the Elite Torrent Mods who are about to get released from jail or getting off parole soon?", didn't amount to much.

The lecture can be viewed from the Open Video Conference website. Find the 'Live Stream's section go to the Menu (lower left) --> "Browse On-Demand Library" --> June 20, 2009 --> (last option) Live Show Sat Jun 20, 2009. The introduction is around 03:10:00, and the question is around 03:34:00.

Great conference, full of ideas, we'll see if anyone watches tBSWM and feels compelled to do anything.

How do you pronounce 'Backslacpkping'?

back-slacp-k-ping : bak-slak-(u)p-kah-pinggG ; verb

I'm not sure. that's a guess, I haven't really had to say it in public yet... If I had too, I would limit the pronunciation of 'U' in up and over stress the PinGGGGG to distract from the garbled middle. The text-2-speech program used for the audio commentary has a version at the beginning.

Because this project was partly a response to teh backstroke of the west, I wanted a back*something* word in the title. This piece began in a shorter form focusing on the mistakes/gaffs by the talking heads. so backslapping seemed appropriate, since the final piece was going to be drawing attention to their reporting errors, they slacked on the facts. The word combination got the final approval when the translator into chinese returned 8 characters.

Why did 'Thee Backslacpkping With Media' Trailer not meet the criteria for the Official Star Wars Fan Movie Challenge hosted by Atom Films and Lucas Films Limited? (website error is as was sent)

Quote :

Subject : Star Wars Fan Movie Challenge From : aswfilm@mtvstaff.com "Dear Star Wars Fan Movie Maker, Thank you for submitting your Star Wars fan movie! While it didn't meet our criteria for this round, the Star Wars Fan Movie Challenge now accepts submissions year-round. In many cases, some simple edits may make your film eligible. For example: Does your film have any visible copyrighted logos or trademarks (e.g. a Coca-Cola bottle)? Is the sound in your film clear, and not muddy? Do you use copyrighted music? (NOTE: Use of Star Wars music does not mean immediate disqualification) Unfortunately, we cannot speak with each filmmaker individually or make specific recommendations. If you're looking for advice, watch the films that are accepted (http://stawars.atomfilms.com). See what they have in common. Learn from what they do well. The Force is with you, and we look forward to seeing what you can create! -AtomFilms"
