-------------------------------------
"i" is a meditation on the relationship between media and power as it  
is manifested by the worlds largest all volunteer network of media  
activists - Indymedia. The feature-length documentary follows the  
first year of a small collective in Buenos Aires as it struggles  
amidst assassinations, a collapsing economy, and a whirlwind of  
political upheaval.
"i"'s non-linear structure mimics the network ideology it documents.  
The viewer encounters a series of interlocking events, parallel  
storylines, and related imagery that coalesce around a small group of  
individuals within Indymedia Argentina - who are themselves linked  
internally and externally to the forces that surround them. The film  
progresses through a series of "hyperlinked" excerpts from different  
media renderings of the upheaval, offering an exploration of the  
events themselves as well as the story-telling capabilities found in  
the embedded structure of information on the web.
This structure serves to illuminate the concepts of collective  
communication, horizontal organization and networked social action.  
The result is a fractal-like portrait, disclosing a repetition of  
form and phenomenon regardless of the scale at which it is examined.  
"i" uses the micro-scale of the individual collective to mirror and  
frame the macro-scale of the surrounding social movements,  
theoretical philosophies, organizations, and events.
In editing this film, Lyon and Ingoglia poured through hours of  
footage from several continents, looking for the resonant moments  
where these specific connections and intersections unfurled. This  
delicate process took four years and much meditation - as they sought  
to portray what at first glance might be a largely invisible  
phenomenon. What has emerged is not only a document of a particularly  
notable moment in history, but a profound testimony of the experience  
of unfolding network consciousness.
