-------------------------------------


"i" is a meditation on the relationship between media and power as it
is manifested by the worlds largest all volunteer network of media
activists - Indymedia. The feature-length documentary follows the
first year of a small collective in Buenos Aires as it struggles
amidst assassinations, a collapsing economy, and a whirlwind of
political upheaval.
"i"'s non-linear structure mimics the network ideology it documents.
The viewer encounters a series of interlocking events, parallel
storylines, and related imagery that coalesce around a small group of
individuals within Indymedia Argentina - who are themselves linked
internally and externally to the forces that surround them. The film
progresses through a series of "hyperlinked" excerpts from different
media renderings of the upheaval, offering an exploration of the
events themselves as well as the story-telling capabilities found in
the embedded structure of information on the web.
This structure serves to illuminate the concepts of collective
communication, horizontal organization and networked social action.
The result is a fractal-like portrait, disclosing a repetition of
form and phenomenon regardless of the scale at which it is examined.
"i" uses the micro-scale of the individual collective to mirror and
frame the macro-scale of the surrounding social movements,
theoretical philosophies, organizations, and events.
In editing this film, Lyon and Ingoglia poured through hours of
footage from several continents, looking for the resonant moments
where these specific connections and intersections unfurled. This
delicate process took four years and much meditation - as they sought
to portray what at first glance might be a largely invisible
phenomenon. What has emerged is not only a document of a particularly
notable moment in history, but a profound testimony of the experience
of unfolding network consciousness.
