Video
[Rough Draft]
My Age of Dissemination began after my rebirth ceremony of 8/8/2020 and consists of presenting my ideas that I have accumulated over my life. The Age of Dissemination will last for three years and one major focus is expressing myself through video which I upload to my youtube channel. Roughly the plan is:
Stage 1 (1.5 years) Produce video content that summarizes individual concepts found on my website. My goal is to produce videos for every webpage on my website. For example, within the topic of Woodcraft I will make videos that showcase each piece of art I have made or within the topic of Research, I will make videos on every paper that I have published.
Stage 2 (1.5 years) Produce video content that mixes multiple concepts in a storyline format. Once I have created enough single concept videos in Stage 1, I will use them as building blocks to make videos that bring together many ideas from different sections of my website. I will glue these content from different parts of my website together with a story. For example, I could make video on the journey of a hero known as HerpesMan. This would bring together the science of Herpes, my mythological queendom of the Herpes Sisters and alot of my drawing artwork.
Stage 1
The video content on individual topics can be found scattered through my website, or you can visit my full list of playlists. Below I will share some of the playlists I am developing.
Science
Research
These videos are centered around my research of spatial disorientation. Most videos are variants of one another. You can find the playlist here: research playlist
Sensory Substitution
These videos are an offshoot of my research and you can find the them here: sensory substitution playlist
Stream of Consciousness Science
These videos are my exploration of science topics that are not directly related to my research. Usually I encounter something interesting or beautiful on my journey of life and then I do scientific literature search to understand more about it. You can find these videos here: stream of consciousness science playlist.
Collaborations with Mother
I enjoy collaborating with my mother and we make videos on topics ranging from mantras, meditation, and yoga. You can find these videos here: Mantras and Meditation with Mother playlist.
Artwork
Woodworking
Eventually I want to make videos on most of the pieces of artwork that I have on my woodcraft portfolio webpage. Here is the Woodworking playlist
Fashion
Eventually I want to make videos on most of the pieces of artwork that I have on my clothing portfolio webpage. Right now this playlist also has videos on my beard. Here is the fashion playlist.
Sand Artwork
A while back I was really into creating sand art and hopefully I will add onto this series sometime in the future: Sand Art Playlist
Outreach
Educational Outreach
Educational outreach is very important to me, check out my vision statement. In the first playlist, I go over how to do a scientific literature review.
Documentary on the City of Tonk
I have always had a love for artwork expressed through the medium of Video, I am always open to any collaborations. After teaching high school for 5 years, time had come to honor a promise I had made for myself. So, I shaved my mullet that I had been growing for 6 years and left my tenured job to go to India and work for CECOEDECON (a NGO located in Rajasthan). There I wrote grants ranging form micro-watershed development to youth employment. I also made amateurish documentaries. Having never been taught, I did everything in the creation of the videos. I recorded the footage, wrote the voice-over, did the editing, composed and played the music. Here are the five parts of this documentary: Tonk playlist
Documentary on Climate Change in Rajasthan
The first documentary I made was on the effect of climate change on subsistence farmers in Rajasthan. Because it was my first video, it is even more amateurish. Excerpts from this documentary were shown at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, which I attended. Below are all four parts. One of my favorite sections is in part two, after 7:46, because I talk about the fascinating journey of nomadic blacksmiths. Climate Change playlist
Mythology
My mythological universe of SOMDEland includes many of my ceremonies that I have done. Below are some of the ones that I have captures on video. For them to make sense, you will have to read my website (link on left).
