This photo show my latest "research" materials related to the Ventriloquism and Virtual Identity idea I've been pondering. Between these and my last few Vizthink posts, you can get a sense for the sheer joy and intellectual freedom that amateur scholarship (I can sense the real academics cringing) can foster. I invite you to join me in the playful work of questioning your own answers by going out on a limb and bringing back the juicy fruit that's hanging just out of sight.

What are we cringing over? Joy, or intellectual freedom? Honestly, you've never hit a wrong note for me, but I had hoped to read something liberating when I saw the post's title. Boo-hoo! BTW, I'm reviewing Crumb's Genesis in a couple of weeks. I'd love to know how it fits into your work on ventriloquism and virtual identity, which I love even though I am "real." Big grin!
I can see the connection with Crumb ... you're writing words to fill the mouths of all the cartoon characters, which is SL on an animated basis. I guess i can understand the ref to Heidegger, too. But I think it's just a funny juxtaposition of book covers, not something real heavy.
Crumb is an amazing film. To be honest I had never heard of the guy but since then I have been fascinated by him.
