Copyright and YouTube, some tests around James Last non-stop dancing 1972

The project to load all the tape of music from Spacex during Celebrarion of Failure by Laura Kikauka has found a few problems of copyright. I am exploring YouTube as I go. Most of the new content can be found on YouTube anyway. I think what happens is that when the robot finds content with a copyright claim the adverts kick in and the income reaches the record company. But is some countries the track is blocked completely. I assume if YouTube allows stuff to still appear that there is not a fundamental problem. 

As explained in a previous post the first extract was titled James Last non-stop dancing 1972  part one so the new ones are shown as later parts although not with James Last in most cases.

The issues-

---------------------

So even the Karaoke is something to think about. This version is pretty good btw. The tape I loaded is from a very bad pressing that jumps all the time. I'm sure that if someone found it they would want to buy a better source. 

I'm now thinking about a playlist approach-

I may put everything here later on. It comes from YouTube mostly so this could be the easiest way.

Learning Analytics , is there a connection with quality assurance?

I am finding out a bit more around Learning Analytics. There was a hotseat a couple of weeks ago as part of the Networked Learning conference. This looked at Learning Analytics as a dream, nightmare or fairy dust. There was quite a lot of support for the nightmare take. The dark side is always of interest for academics.

http://www.slideshare.net/sbs/learning-analytics-dream-nightmare-or-fairydust

<div style="width:425px" id="__ss_10473705"> <strong style="display:block;margin:12px 0 4px">Learning Analytics: Dream, Nightmare, or Fairydust?</strong> <div style="padding:5px 0 12px"> View more presentations from Simon Buckingham Shum </div> </div>

the slides are on Slideshare from ascilite2011

It seems to me that if you accept statistics then quality assurance follows pretty soon. Statistical process control comes out of manufacturing so people in universities may form a resistance. But there may be some aspects that are worth a look.

I have found some links to come back to

this has the idea of process.

So I think quality ideas could fit with this, starting with Deming.

Analytics action point 3 - Green Man in Exeter

YouTube analytics shows me that some topics get many fewer views than I would like. The Green Man in Exeter is now one of the best bits I think. This year there was less time to promote the event and no special programme on Phonic FM. But I do have a reasonable coverage of what happened in 2011 and 2012. Search on "Green Man Exeter" to find several.

The interviews worked well.

should find parts 2 and 3

but of the 18 people who looked at part one, only 9 followed to the others.

So this post is the start of more energy to promote search on "Green Man Exeter"

@arusbridger If Guardian journalism is open, what happened to Guardian talk?

I have bought a printed copy of Guardian today and it turns out there will be a live discussion at 3 through Comment is Free.

See previous posts for my user experience re Guardian Unlimited Talk

Social media quite a way ahead of the curve, trashed by the management. 

What happened? Will we ever be told?

Analytics action point 2 - non stop dancing

YouTube analytics tells me that there is a lot of interest in James Last - Non-Stop Dancing 1972. Thing is that this is actually the start of a C90 mix tape based on music from a Celebration of Failure by Laura Kikauka at Spacex in Exeter. I think the premise was that the failure is in public taste though it can be rescued or callaged into a gallery. For example disco / pop. There was the space to play discs and I also brought in two of my own. So the six LPs are genuine art relics.

I have added some new clips all called James Last non stop dancing 1972 though with a warning that some of them do not include James Last. Therer are several visual links to a conversation in the Phoenix bar after a New Exeter Radio Show. This includes the artwork and some more explanation

I think it may be time to move on to the '80s. It is a matter of time and distance from direct engagement. A new project could be in a gallery where the music was seen as a bit naff or in a dance environment where the graphics were treated with perhaps less attention than in a gallery. There could be various combinations and locations. I would like to record the conversations. I thought it a wasted chance that there was not some recording of the opening event for the Celebration of Failure.

So link suggestions please. To be continued.

Analytics action point 1 - Sound of the Sirens

See previous post for Adobe on analytics, But YouTube and Google seem easier to follow and makes more sense at the moment. My YouTube channel is described as Rougemont Global Broadcasting. This turns out to be more or less true although it started as a version of a local cable tv station. It could have been a demo of what was possible with local cable. But now  something online is more likely I think. Exeter TV is still a possibility though Jo Gedrych is in Scotland. Maybe something related will happen there.

Butterflies by Sound of the Sirens has over 3000 views. This was from Acoustica a couple of years ago at the Phoenix Exeter. There are other tracks but they are on tape. I still have to edit more that is on disc from the Zi8. Now it is spring in theory I should get out more and take advantage of the light. It was the long winter evenings that suited editing. There is a backlog though waht is there is representative.

I have added two from Sidmouth last year at Dukes. Not sure of the title on one song

So I wonder if they will reach a similar audience. There is a pause at one point but they recover quickly.

The Sound of the Sirens will appear at a Phonic benefit in May. I have started a playlist on YouTube

I think that playlists may be a way to "listen again" to broadcasts on Phonic. Some of these songs will be on the Wild Show on a Thursday morning. 

on not going to drupa

The year is taking shape. The winterlude was a while ago but I don't seem to have finished with it.

Learning Technologies and especially the learning without frontiers was pretty clear. The cloud is viable in the UK.

I still think that video will be the most obvious technology at drupa. But as part of social media in general. So I think I can probably follow the gist of drupa from a desktop in Exeter. Only way to check is to try it. It can't be another inkjet drupa. Last time was clearly web-to-print, at least in the dip.

For one thing the companies not there include Apple and Adobe. Since early '80s they have been the main source of disruptive tech. Now Apple might be into television. The HD capability on the recent iPad is pretty much wasted on UK bandwidth. Not sure where this is going but way beyond hard copy file sizes.

Adobe is launching new products around analytics. Maybe creative software is about to run out of margin. But is analytics that complicated either? the new Flash? Statistics is not yet widely discussed but process control has been studied in manufacturing for decades. They do have a point though. I have started to check the analytics on YouTube. I respond variously. Some things there should be more of as they get watched. Others need promotion as they seem to be ignored. More on this later.

One thing that is clear is that timescales are all over the place. Since thinking back to Postscript it may not matter which year it is. But it is slightly confusing that I was interested in a Cross Media event in autumn 2011 though it was postponed to 2012. It will be in Islington UK. The first idea for it was on the way back from digi:media

http://www.digimedia.de/

But the timescale seems to me to be out of scale, even as I lose track of the odd month or two. Another problem is that the dip - the innovation parc- tends to be missed in the attention for all the heavy metal. Even the inkjet is impressive. So I think you may have to imagine 2013 for a digi:media / dip in clear focus.

Meanwhile back to "pre-media", not yet ready as "cross-media". Unless there is a rethink in the next few weeks.

I am also imagining that some print will be vanishing soon, or in few enough years to count as soon. Printweek in hard copy is a promotion for the website. "Ask Jo" just tells you the problem in print. And the Guardian may get even smaller as well in terms of pages. I don't always believe what print journalists write. Especially about print.

Salvation spelling error #mtw3 keynote Scenechat tst

State of Salvation? had a spelling error in previous post. Brazil has now a larger number than UK. Why will they constrain consumption? Discussion continues.

Stikll testing the SceneChat feature. It should link back to Facebook and there is a new group there, search on #mtw3 . 

Exeter Holi http://youtu.be/iIfV_BOgQAs Hindu Temple Project YouTube link

This is an edit from yesterday

I thought it was a bit cold by the end of the afternoon but the younger people were very sensibly wearing T shirts.

Why don't more people in Exeter know about this? Should there be a training session a few weeks earlier? I think some people may have started throwing colour too soon.

By the way there was food but I forgot to video, too busy eating.

SceneChat set up for YouTube keynote - #mtw3 Burgoyne end leadersip slavation state

http://learn9log.blogspot.com/2012/03/management-theory-at-work-3-conference.html

The keynote is in two sections of just over 20 minutes, quite long for YouTube.

Mashup possible, Creative Commons. You can comment where the edit should be, or link to something else.

Start of Giraffe script for Gripping Yarns project

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aBOGiUeTihwVEUTB9khtvjK9D9fPjifzdZNY1AMARgY/edit

I have started a script for Gripping Yarns. Needs about 1000 words for five minutes.

But to explain this project to the Gifted Giraffe, it will need to fit into tweets, say about twenty of them.

I hope to get some suggestions from Chris and JD on the Wild Show later today.

Phonic FM 106.8 

Deming Secrets and YouTube as radio #EX1to4

This week is taking shape but still seems a bit disjointed.

On Thursday I will be part of a meeting on Deming Secrets, a study in aspects of Edwards Deming that are not well known. I will take a video camera and maybe post some YouTube clips later. there is some interest in YouTube but also a concern with quality as in wobble, variable colour, sound that is hard to make out.

Usually on a Thursday I support the Wild Show on Phonic FM from the basement of the Phoenix in central Exeter. Recently we have been looking at mobile devices and video as ways to extend the Facebook page.

http://www.facebook.com/groups/191571387556376/332802116766635/

We found last week that an iPad is ok as a video camera but some wifi cannot cope with the upload. Later the same day or the day after is ok though.

I am testing out SceneChat so have put an Adobe video into a blog

http://learn9log.blogspot.com/2012/02/this-is-recent-clip-on-adverts-and.html#

I think the time when video is uploaded rapidly will come soon. the quality from mobile devices is getting better.

So there may be a loop, from and towards a professional quality meeting and an attempted video network. The radio show works ok as such, probably less than five minutes dead air in a two hour show. We will probably be able to edit some good bits later. And there could be a phone call from the Deming Secrets meeting. But live broadcasting can be too much trouble. There could also be some links next week.

"EX1to4" is intended to find local news near Exeter. Could be a cable channel also but the shape of organisation is up for discussion.  

Creative Commons events, marketing and PR re Ghostwriter / Passage of the Soul #CCevent

There seems to be a change round about now about policy on public access to visual content. Last week I was allowed to video a talk about Ghostwriter at RAMM and David Blandy at the Phoenix. I'm not sure which bits to put on YouTube or SoundCloud. The lighting was bad in the Phoenix so I mostly just recorded the video. I think this will be ok but needs looking at.

Also I have video of my walk with the phone in RAMM. Could make up a soundtrack but maybe people could phone the RAMM number while watching.

(Radio 4 Archive prog claimed the Ways of Seeing video is not available on DVD, but there are several bits on YouTube including the idea that church art is space specific)

The clip that the Wild Show broadcast last week could be heard I think in any space near a museum or gallery or similar such as a home-

OK, I want you to do me a favour. I want you to tell me about an object that means something to you. Maybe it’s something you’ve got in a drawer somewhere. Or do you have it out on display?

It could be from a holiday, or a lover, or a walk in the country. It might be valuable or it could look like rubbish to someone else.

Mine is aT shirt from an expensive shop near Oxford Street. It is white and baggy. And on the shoulder there is a small stain of my mum’s blood. I want to throw it away but I can’t.

So have you got something that you can tell me about? An object that is special to you for some reason. Take your time to imagine it lying in your hand. Go on, open your hand for me right now and picture it in your palm. Take as long as you need and when you’ve got something that you want to describe to me, press 1. I’ll keep your recording secret for now but maybe one day it will become an exhibit on the museum’s website. OK, just press 1 when you’re ready to record.....

= = =

As mentioned on the Wild Show , Phonic FM Thursday 10-12, these clips could be on a Facebook page so RAMM later made a selection.

I am testing a new service from SceneChat that tracks comments to a video timeline. It also posts comments to Facebook with a link back to the blog where the video is embedded. First test is from Isca Obscura last year when the Creative Commons approach was explicit from Watershed PR. If this falls over please add comments to this blog or rewrite the txt-

This is a general purpose interview.  ( three minute edit of Utub but can be longer)

There is a meeting next week at Spacex about marketing

http://www.spacex.co.uk/p136.html

I think my concerns are more to do with public relations as theory but who can tell? It is still disputed what a blog has to do with journalism.

Guardian asks whether bloggers are journalists? (about 5 years too late imho)

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2012/feb/26/blogger-journalist-silicon-valley-dan-lyons

Mostly this story is about the possibility that tech bloggers may have financial interests. How surprising when compared with the claims of proper journalism. As if the Guardian would knock the idea of BBC local video, then launch their own in Manchester, and then just leave it. 

But the main point comes in the first sentence-

The debate asking "Are bloggers journalists?" was exhausted by about 2005. (Answer: yes.)

But if so, why did the Guardian not adjust around this time? Citizen journalism was featured at the OhmyNews conferences for example. But the Guardian Talk got less attention. No development resources.

If this sort of story is an example of how bloggers are reported then I think the Guardian has already gone off in a wrong direction. It may have been too late after around 2005. Do we really need the gossip on the high profile bloggers in the USA? Nothing against them but what about local bloggers in the UK? Is there any connection with the Guardian?

I'm down to two or three copies a week now for the print version. 

Daily Beast still on the Murdoch case

The Daily Beast is still studying the Murdoch press and a long story about UK journalists and Lord Lucan has at least one interesting quote-

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/02/26/sunday-sun-s-lord-lucan-exclusive-is-a-letdown.html?utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=cheatsheet_morning&cid=newsletter%3Bemail%3Bcheatsheet_morning&utm_term=Cheat%20Sheet 

One of the preeminent Lord Lucan hunters was Mirror reporter Garth Gibbs, who in his time was sent all around the world to hunt for the missing earl. Gibbs, who died last year, pithily summed up the journalistic view of the nation’s favorite mystery story.

“I regard not finding Lord Lucan as my most spectacular success in journalism,” said Gibbs. “Of course, many of my colleagues have also been fairly successful in not finding Lord Lucan. But I have successfully not found him in more exotic spots than anybody else.

“I spent three glorious weeks not finding him in Cape Town, magical days and nights not finding him in the Black Mountains of Wales, and wonderful and successful short breaks not finding him in Macau either, or in Hong Kong or even in Green Turtle Cay in the Bahamas, where you can find anyone.”

I  think Princess Diana could be a more interesting story than Lord Lucan. More people remember her and the question of how phone conversations come to be recorded is still relevant. So far the UK press seems not to share the Daily Beast interest in this one.

Integrating Quality, Learning and Exeter Art, Exeter Open Studios auto edit challenge

http://paper.li/Exe_OpenStudios/1330105581

This blog has been picked up by an auto editor, I think. Maybe this is a good thing. But I will have to try to link stuff together aq bit better. There is some coherence probably.

I write about animation, music and creative commons. One reason is the idea of Rougemont Global Broadcasting or Exeter TV or whatever might happen with a channel for local video. This started with the model of US cable but I think as time continues something web is more likely.

Starting with learning organisations may continue as networked learning or quality systems. Or both. So soon there needs to be some sort of model to start with.

Ideas about copyright and social media are changing. more later.

Linking Deming, Sustainability, Network Learning and the CQI #cqimoso

I have posted a comment on the blog for the third Management Theory at Work conference, currenlt online only.

 For the first two conferences I did papers on ISO 9000 and Deming. Recently the Deming SIG at the CQI have promoted a Model of Sustainable Organisation (MoSO) that updates Deming ideas and connects with some learning theory. I hope there will be connections during #mtw3 

http://www.thecqi.org/moso

This copied from above. A couple of recent developments-
I have added links to the two papers to a discussion on Systemic Thinking, part of a Sustainability Hotseat on the Networked LEarning Conference website

http://networkedlearningconference.ning.com/forum/topics/working-with-an-action-research-and-systemic-thinking-approach-to

The MoSO group will hold a meeting this Thursday to present the model to quality professionals. The emphasis will be on innovation, as an aspect of sustainability.

http://www.thecqi.org/Community/Special-Interest-Groups-SIGs/Deming-SIG/Events/Demings-Secrets/

Search for "mtw3" in LinkedIn groups to find this source.

The hotseat last week for sustainability worked out ok. I was able to introduce some questions from the point of view of quality practice. "Sustainability" is ambiguous as a term, it invites interest both from people who don't like the direction of globalisation in all aspects and from those worried about specific companies running out of road.

There will be some video from the MoSO meeting so more links later.

I hope connections between MoSO and Networked Learning will be possible. The scope of #mtw3 could include both.

Green Man another case for TV and social media #Enviromental #ForkbearProjection #CCevent

On another blog, Animx, I have commented on ITV and the YouTube post from Exeter Cathedral and recent projection.

http://animexeter.blogspot.com/2012/02/itv-moving-in-right-direction.html

Thinking about it today it seems better to concentrate on a future event. I think the Green Man will return to Devon sometime soon. Other places also but it is the continuing cold in Devon that concerns me.

Last year I was able to interview Francis Ives ,  a source close to the Green Man , and he guide me to some other photo opportunities. Phonic FM had a three hour show as listeners phoned in when the Green Man was seen between the Haldon Hills and Exeter Cathedral. Francis Ives told me that there may well be more than one Green Man, even if we just think of areas close to Exeter. Francis also has the impression that the Green Man is attracted to Exeter Cathedral. Last year he appeared on top of the Pizza Express building before vanishing again.

I am trying to find out when he may appear during 2012. Perhaps the ITV weather forecast will be a factor. Other TV is available. Social media can contribute and I don't see any advantage in an embargo till the date and time that might make sense to a particular live broadcast. There could be a green screen somewhere near the cathedral to mix with live interviews and YouTube archive. Probably the Phoenix Media could rent a proper one or the Occupy Exeter group could construct something from rope, tent poles and   a green fabric.

I'm planning on staying inside for a while, looking for links and editing stuff from previously.

#CCevent is a new tag for a Creative Commons event, designed to be easy for social media. More when I find some good sources for theory.

It is the Green Man , source electrical jelly blog #forkbeardprojection #evolumental #animatedexeter2012

http://sparksinelectricaljelly.blogspot.com/2012/02/animated-exeter-forkbeard-fantasys.html

A very thorough blog explains all the mysteries I puzzle over.

Sparks in Electrical Jelly states that it is the Green Man as I thought it might be. 

But I'm not sure about this description-

This model was more akin to the dim ogres found in Terry Gilliam film, however, grunting with slow, dim-witted befuddlement, chronic and everpresent indigestion suggested by moog sounds at their most flatulent. 

I think he was dancing, part of a dance music reference throughout the soundtrack.

The Green Man cannot come soon enough. Apparently he lives near the Haldon hills and will visit Exeter in a month or so. But there could be more than one Green Man. If he chooses to dance then his style should be respected.

Last year there could have been a change in the mood of the music when the Green Man appeared. Is there scope for a remix?
