Response to “Where the Hell is Matt?”
OK, I know it’s not a Monday but I’m posting a film anyway - this is a response to the film I posted yesterday with the guy dancing around the world.

Apart from being a very funny, very London take on the New World traveller portrayed by the guy dancing round the world, this illustrates the immediacy and creativity spiralling out of new media and the internet. On verbal based blogs like Fusion View, the community builds up through comments and emails. The next generation of communication is already with us in the form of podcasting and even more “now”, videocasting.
Interestingly, there seem to have been some rather bitter and twisted comments in response to Matt Harding’s dancing round the world video - generally, I think, from people who would like to be travelling or being creative but instead are chained to their desks/ jobs etc. There’s no substitute for just getting on out there and doing it - whether it’s dancing round the world or dancing round your flat!

loved this - made me immediately think of alain de botton “the art of travel”.

Yes, it puts a whole new spin on “what are you doing for your summer holidays?”, doesn’t it?

Hilarious! Made me laugh so hard I almost fell out of my chair!
