More from TriQuarterly’s inaugural video essay edition (Curated by John Bresland and Marilyn Freeman); October Fire by Michael Lent:

It was a brief and surreal break—palm trees, sunshine, and surfers, in winter. And then the fires. The Santa Ana winds spread wildfires toward the coastline. The mountains we needed to drive through blazed for days and days. The wildfires severely altered the landscape in a matter of weeks.

My words, Kenzie Burchell

“My Words” is a video engagement with mobility, metadata and identity. These are the recorded lists of people’s personal dictionaries on their mobile phones. In contrast to the manufacturer’s default dictionary, these words were saved into the phone when the individuals were texting. They were saved, often unconsciously, mid-process by the users because these were words not included in the default dictionary, yet used so often by the individual. The result is a localized and highly idiosyncratic portrait of each person. They were filmed with a mobile phone, seeing their list for the first time as they read it.

TriQuarterly’s inaugural video essay edition is out and definitely worth a look (Curated by John Bresland and Marilyn Freeman). Nice work and impressive venture.

How does the visceral nature of digital technology—sound, image and the sometimes cruel edgelessness of the screen—alter the writer’s relationship to language? The seven video essays in this collection, curated by John Bresland and Marilyn Freeman, raise a host of thrilling questions, not least: How is writing today different than it was yesterday? What does it mean for writers to build a text with, as Virginia Woolf once cannily advised, whatever pieces come your way?
