vidrecsVid Title: Flickers
Vidder:lola
Fandom: Multifandom (Veronica Mars, Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars, Revenge)
Summary: Girls + technology = ? "And with my opened mouth, I join the singing lights."
Reccer's Comments: This one's very recent! It's a really fascinating concept and very focused execution, combining text, including media/academic/feminist theory, technology and representations of women and technology in these shows. Different effects technology have on the young women are explored, from the creepy objectification of them by others through surveillance and technology, to the women taking control of the means of media and technology production themselves. The feeling in the vid is really layered and ambiguous, which I'm sort of fascinated by. It's neither warning nor triumphant girl power, but it does have a strong theme of the power that these young women gain through their use of technology and their connectivity to each other--flickers, like all the screens in the dark.
