Ideas for the Film

So, my project has shifted directions... again. I am going to try to avoid any use of 'code' from now on. I have been told that referring to code as a way of encoding information gets confusing when speaking about the internet (which has a base-code of ones and zeros, etc. that create the structure). I am now working much more closely with memes and the evolution of them and the microcelebrities attached to them across the internet mediascape. In this instance, I will try to see how the mediascapes and the different media ecologies are manipulated to create these flash-celebrities. So, I must now track down the internet trail of Tay Zonday, Boxxy, Kenny Glen, and others... oi.

For my video, I am going to try to collaborate with our meme-er/language of the internet person and try not to overlap with her project too much while still showing a certain amount of continuity. I believe that the Parisian warren of roads metaphor will still work for this, and in fact will work for this, and so will be using something French Revolution-esque. It would be factually incorrect, but using clips from productions of Les Mis will be useful for the message that I am attempting to portray.

So ideas:
(hopefully memes already introduced... if not ->) What is a meme?
Micro-celebrity memes on the internet - examples of Boxxy, Tay Zonday, Kenny Glen (images and videos of them with Talking Head or me voicing over it...)
Rewind! How did they become this?
Paris metaphor, explore how ins-and-outs are used
Follow one or more micro-celebrities through Digg to YouTube, etc. and their evolution into memes.
Conclude with Kenny Glen as an example and lead in to cryptoanarchy and the ability to be truly anonymous on the internet...
