Mixed Media

As a persuasive appeal, I thought this new video by James Kotecki was an interesting example of mixing old (black and white image) with new (YouTube video) to get Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's attention.

Spoiler Alert!

There aren't any pencil puppets in this one, but he's come up with a new low-tech gimmick. Watch the footage first so I don't give away the punchline, but I thought it was interesting also to contemplate the ephemeral character of both sand writing and digital documents on distributed networks.
