These pasts and futures are the product of long and entangled interfaces that we are going to walk through, remember, reanimate and (re)claim. This argument is made in the text and the to-camera videos in a broadly conventional way. There is a parallel case being made that the digital format, allowing as it does for a set of intersecting and interfacing threads to compose the whole, is in fact better suited to reclaiming and exploring these histories. To anticipate the project, that should not surprise us, given the extent to which "History" was formed as a technology of empire. While there is no innocence attached to computing or authoring softwares, there is at least a certain open space which, for the present, we can explore.

From here, you can follow the main route of the demonstration, color-coded green in the header. That is a "path" you can follow to the platform. You can also: join feeder marches (other "paths," accessible via the paths menu under the "Index" heading at left) get lost (pick the "Explore" heading), make a comment, start a discussion, back-track and get involved in the activities along the way. There's a lot of video to watch. Some from feature films, some from newsreels, guerrilla documentary and so on. Here's some more ideas on the Scalar format. To make use of the multi-media format, I've make some YouTube style to camera videos, inspired by Alex Juhasz's Learning from YouTube project. So a full "read" of this project would take some time. It's not about getting to the end, this is not a video game. It's about who you want to be, not as a consumer, but as a citizen: for we are all citizens of the International.
