Videoécriture: interactive video vernaculars
Fri, 04/01/2008 - 12:27 — AdrianMiles, Adrian. "Videoécriture: Interactive Video Vernaculars." Association of Internet Researchers Annual Conference. Maastricht, 2002.
Internet desktop video is constrained by conservative notions of distribution, authorship, and genre. Content is developed and delivered utilising traditional broadcasting paradigms and our browsers become little more than de facto television receivers.
This has hindered the development of novel critical and creative fiction, nonfiction, and experimental work in interactive networked video and the opportunity that internet video offers for media rich
Facetted Video: Crystalline Architectures (0.1)
Thu, 11/10/2007 - 10:37 — AdrianMiles, Adrian. "Facetted Video: Crystalline Architectures." VideoVortex. Argos Media Centre. Brussels. October 5, 2007.
Online interactive video has a 'facetted' model where each shot (and each part of each shot) instead of only having a single possibility of connection with another shot or sequence now has multiple facets. These slides describe this (essay is in the works, as is interactive video essay).

Essay where the term softvideo is introduced. This explores the possibilities and affordances of video when the computer and network is treated as the form of consumption and not only distribution.

Genuine Rich Media Blogging
Thu, 30/08/2007 - 15:35 — AdrianMiles, Adrian. "A Vision for Genuine Rich Media Blogging." Uses of Blogs. Eds. Axel Bruns and Joanne Jacobs. New York: Peter Lang, 2006. 213-22.
I identify which material affordances of networked writing blogs exploit, and then use this as the basis for a critique of video blogging. From this I argue for a different video blog practice where video is more 'blog like' and network aware and porous.
Blogs are a rich, diverse and quintessentially disparate medium expressing the internet as a network of noise, connection, communication and difference.
