Time magazine named the 'Protester' as it's 'person' of the year, and now "We are the 99%" has been named quote of the year. 2011 will surely go down as the year of protests--from the Arab Spring to the Occupy everywhere movement. A lot of column inches have been and will continue to be given to the events of this year--a year that seems to be shaping up to have some significance on so many levels.
Perhaps the most interesting thing I have come across related to the Occupy movements is found at Cowbird, the latest venture from ace digital story-teller, Jonathan Harris, whose works continues to amaze. His new program is an invitation to tell audio-visual personal stories and link them to larger human stories--this is what they did with Occupy. It is not so much analysis as it is a visual sense of the event.
