I tried to watch Patricia McInroy’s “In/organic Transmissions” at qarrtsiluni but a problem with the embedded video gave me this error message instead:

For a moment I thought this was the video, because it indeed shows “a conversation that is not taking place,” and the natural engaging the artificial. Makes me wonder if this is the best option for Vimeo’s error message — seems a bit self-defeating, doesn’t it? Because even as one conversation doesn’t take place — the networked one — another conversation does, face-to-face as our pixelated trio turn away from the inoperative screen toward each other and toward the landscape around them.

(PS The real video is working now, so check it out.)
