critical scene

Critical Mass bike rides, since 1998 in Hamilton, through the camera lens of mobile videographers (on bikes) - get the street-side view of the monthly bike ride in this short video that made it into the Art Gallery of Hamilton's PHOTOPHOBIA annual juried exhibition of short video in 2003. (DIVA's second entry in photophobia, the other being War Games in the Park.)

How You See It, Critical Mass is a collection of footage taken over a period of several CM rides in town, including the Pedal for Peace, which strangely (or not) drew a police presence.

Critical Mass is still going on in town, the last Friday of the month at Hess and George Streets, at 5:30pm.

No more oil, no more wars, let's all take our bikes out more!

creepy encounters of the third kind

WAR GAMES IN THE PARK

We couldn't have scripted a more damning exchange between civilians and the military who wanted to play war games in the park.

You can read all about it in a previous post, but watch it and wonder...

This was also our first film to be shown at the annual, outdoors, juried short-video show at the Art Gallery of Hamilton, PHOTOPHOBIA.
