First off: This video gave me goosebumps.

From the video (actually excerpted thoughts, but make sense when strung like this as they did): “We are the web… when we post and then tag pictures… we are teaching the Machine… Each time we forge a link… we teach an idea… THE MACHINE IS US/ING US.”

The video is actually a project from the Digital Ethnography project at Kansas State University (digg the effort, but their mark looks a little too much like another mark we all know). They are looking for feedback on this draft, so help ’em out by commenting on their youtube post here.

Such an amazing video and project. Props. The connections, the conceptions … the possibilities of understanding humanity. The Web. The Machine. Sign me up.
