"There is something in its constructed-ness that seems to demand a normative reading of the video, i.e., what it is saying about this character—the wrestler—and how he is treated by the film and by himself." @arielavissar.bsky.social's fragment in our 2nd collection. fragments.video/2025/06/19/t...

"framed as it is in this Zoom interface, I imagine for many of us it is a reminder of the virtual gatherings that became so ubiquitous during the COVID lockdowns" @jemsaunders1.bsky.social's fragment published as part of our first collection. Find out more here fragments.video/2025/04/03/w...

"As a teaser for a video essay that has not (yet) materialised, this approach is succinct and logical but certainly leaves one with questions about what may have followed" Rich Matthews' fragment published as part of our first collection. Find out more here fragments.video/2025/05/21/w...

"Is this a slow videographic practice? I might even call it ‘furniture videographics’ but then that would do it a disservice." @richardlangley.bsky.social's fragment published as part of our first collection. Find out more here fragments.video/2025/05/01/s...

"I was genuinely excited by the idea of ‘seeing through sound’...with an immediate feeling of ‘I want to try that!’." @cormacrestrike.bsky.social's fragment published as part of our first collection. Find out more here fragments.video/2025/03/04/b...

"Is it an injustice to label this a fragment? It feels complete in the same way that a rhyming couplet out of context is still complete." @barbarazecchi.bsky.social's fragment published as part of our first collection. Find our more here fragments.video/2025/05/13/r...

"I experienced this rough cut as an archive of Will’s intentions, a showcase of how various videographic techniques were being deployed to achieve them" @willdigravio.bsky.social's fragment published as part of our first collection. Find out more here fragments.video/2025/04/16/p...

"bringing the poetic/explanatory to the fore and then distracting us briefly from it by having AI battle it out for our very videographic souls." @colleenlaird.bsky.social & @daynarama.bsky.social's fragment published as part of our first collection. Find out more fragments.video/2025/05/21/g...
