Week 12: Media Burn

The screening of Media Burn this weekend was intriguing to me as a point of intervention. I think that this was the most clear cut intervention that we  have seen in the class. It still is not clear to me why the participants in Media Burn so against the idea of T.V. It was also interesting that to put their views out to the public they filmed the event which would require the public to watch it on some type of T.V. or screen. I thought that it almost defeated the purpose but then I realized that I don't think their goal was to get everyone to stop watching T.V. because that would be very  unrealistic. Instead, I believe that their goal was to get people to realize how much we rely or cling to television  and to give them insight on what healthy use of television should be. Sometimes I believe that society needs shocking or extravagant displays to get them to realize something that they would not think of or to become disillusioned.
