Judith, I was wondering if you could send the link for my seminar presentation to the woman who was a guest in our class this week (I'm sorry but I've forgotten her name). She approached me after class and expressed interest in showing my video during a presentation of some sort. I gave her my email but I didn't get hers. Thanks!
I hope everyone has a good week and doesn't get too stressed with end of term stuff!
-Angela
p.s. I might post some more video dedications so keep a look out for them!

Judith interviewed on "Animal Voices"
Click title for a link to my interview online. Here is the excellent press release by Lauren Corman, the show's host.
*** Animal Voices Radio, live, every Tuesday at 11 am-12 pm EST. Listen worldwide at http://www.ciut.fm <
On Animal Voices, Tuesday, March 20, 2007 11 a.m. EST:
Award-winning Toronto filmmaker, artist, and writer, Judith Doyle has been studying urban foxes for seven years. Her recently-defended thesis foxscape: configuring animals in urban and digital geographies, combines visual media with a text substrate, in this culminating project. Through layers of memory, academic critique, and art, foxscape investigates human-animal boundaries, natural and cultural history, and animal representation to create an experience that is highly reflexive and generative. Concentrating in part on urban foxes in Toronto and their 2001 population decimation (as a result of sarcoptic mange), Doyle explores themes of habitat loss, urbanization, adaptability, and death. Significantly, she contends, "animals are active agents of change and their representations can prompt renewed engagement with animals in the world and with our shared conditions of embodiment."
In foxscape, Doyle also considers animal presence and agency in representation more broadly, including a fascinating exploration of early cinema, zoo display, and online. Concomitantly, then, Doyle's work also attends to "digital geographies," as she critically examines how animals circulate on the Internet. "Online animals are in some ways spectral," argues Doyle, "a database of compensatory traces for species and habitat loss (like ghosts, online foxes can represent dead ones in disembodied conditions)."
Judith Doyle is a an Associate Professor of Integrated Media at the Ontario College of Art and Design. Her other projects include films Private Property / Public History (1982), Launch (1982), Eye of the Mask : Theatre Nicaragua (1985), Lac La Croix (1988), Wasaga (1994), the last split second (1998), animal movies : fox past (2000) and fox : future (2001), in addition to a variety of performances that often include spoken word and written text.

Hi everyone!
It's Angela. I'm just posting a video for Rusiko, but you are all welcome to check it out if you want. It's a sort of mocumentary about how to start your own cult. I am sending it to Rusiko because she showed me a project she was doing for another class about cults and I thought she might like it.
Just click on the title of this post, it is the link to the youtube video.
Enjoy!!

So please check your e-mails or touch bases with me.
That said - no worries! See you for continuing midterms tomorrow.
