White glove tracking

Thursday, July 12th, 2007


On May 4th, 2007, they asked internet users to help isolate Michael Jackson’s white glove in all 10,060 frames of his nationally televised landmark performance of Billy Jean. 72 hours later 125,000 gloves had been located.

Wza posted an excellent list of must-see documentaries on Google video and some of them reminded me of Punishment Park:

“While Peter Watkins‘ films of the 1960s reflected the political turmoil and tumult of that decade, 1971’s Punishment Park offered a disturbing look at the backlash against activism which emerged in the wake of such events as the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago and the shootings at Kent State University.
