about the project.....
About four years ago I began accumulating debris- fragments of poems- strewn about posters- flyers- emails- etc. mostly anonymous- left over from various rallies, workshops, readings, etc.- events related to resisting mountaintop removal.
Tom Phillips
Tom Phillips spent years in the Lexington theatre community before relocating to Los Angeles. He has worked many times with Actors Guild of Lexington, the Lexington Shakespeare Festival, Phoenix Group Theatre, and others, as well as Kentucky-grown film projects such as "Shadows Light". He now resides in Woodland Hills, CA, where it's much too hot, carving out an acting career. He is excited about "We Are Mountains Ourselves", and hopes this interesting project will raise awareness regarding both topsoil removal, and the extraordinary things ordinary people can do through an unfettered internet.
sunny montgomery is a favorite Lexington writer and performer. (see one of her short stories on sidebar)
and thanks to Todd Erickson (audio)
relatedSeptember 22 is "One Web Day" http://onewebday.org/ a day to recognize the democratic nature and potential of the internet.
Why Venice Beach? ELandF primarily uses public spaces and mostly free technologies for our installations/performances. Venice Beach Boardwalk is recognized as one of the premier public spaces in the US.
Why use the Beach Cam? We just liked it
