Hey There Hateful Noisy Media Number 3 | Fake News & Propaganda Education

Hey there hateful noisy media Number 3 fake news propaganda education from Eddy Jackson on Vimeo.

Language has many functions. David Crystal's (2007) linguistics synopsis articulates these. They are reflected in the production of these word experiments and their associated multi-media productions.

All the written experimental content is framed by the work of eminent philosophers and by seeking spirituality to counter nihilism, alienation, ignorance, hatred, and division. 

The driver and catalyst for this approach are personal responses from the zeitgeist scenarios that are amplified by bots, fake news, propaganda, clickbait, the press, government, and PR agencies.

Production outcomes evolve from the fusion of language and thinking by integrating new ideas from across our linguistic heritage:

1. Expressing thought processes.
   
   
2.  Recording facts.
   
   
3.  Expressing emotions.
   
   
4.  Playing.
   
   
5.  Controlling reality.
   
   
6.  Expressing rapport.
   
   
7.  Expressing identity.
   
   
8.  Expressing sounds by
   
   
9. Experimenting with technology.

The deliberate fusion of these layers of communication aims to elicit responses from audiences. Unlike viewers in passivity watching cinema, television and, streaming service, the desired objective of this pedagogy is to deliberately encourage, provoke, ask difficult questions, and be a positive educational resource in facilitating new insights and solutions.

Stop megaphone bullying & Fake News

In a time where radical manifestos are simply not credible, there is a need to, “Stop giving equal time to lies.” A great principle for 2020 states Gavin Esler.

Hey there hateful noisy media

I am going under drowning

From your extremist fictions

Kicking around my mine.

Go now, get out of my mine

You are much too ignorant

I am fighting discovering

A new real world.

By guiding reasoning

Informing decision making

Creating a new path to escape

To a heavenly peaceful paradise.

Discovering new thinking

Surfacing free from tyranny

Questioning threatening beliefs.

Listen to the chimes of freedom.

Do not raise your voice

Stop megaphone bullying

With vindictive symbols of hate

Ignorance needs education.

Peacefully thriving in harmony

Loving using rationality

Freeing minds exposing false narratives

Winning creating stronger communities.

How Does It Feel Going Under Drowning - Fake News

Experimenting, playing with, and integrating language by using audio, printed, and visual media in the spirit of Bertolt Brecht’s pedagogy helps in creating reflective, thoughtful audience responses.

In producing this experimental genre through the critical application and development of language by morphing the characteristics of poems and prose leads to dramatically witnessing contemporary life through a surreal filter.

There is a strong emphasis on the image over the narrative.

The process becomes stronger when reading this new media aloud and designing an echoing pattern for a more rounded effect.

Here there is a sharp contrast between using the best words in the best order: poetry and in comparing words in their best order: prose.

Powerful feelings are poetry’s strength. What if these can flow from margin to margin free from rhyme and metre? The prose poem is the third way and becomes the guiding beacon for this experimental media. LogicPro and FCP support this process.

How Does It Feel Going Under Drowning

How does it feel

Going under drowning

From extremist fictions

Kicking around my mine?

Gasping fighting

Desperately thinking

Reasoning informing hope

Over false statements.

How does it feel

Living new worlds

Surfacing free from tyranny

Overcoming threatening beliefs?

Falsely misappropriating ideas

Stop megaphone bullying

Echoing in a shallow cave

Whose villainous values are these?

How does it feel

Rising from the stormy seas

Gasping fresh air

Feeding the brain?

Living in peace harmony and love

Thoughtfully using rationality

Creating informing minds

Needs your attention to thrive.
