the choice of creating a new way of viewing an object by changing the perception of it

This is basically what I think art is, and I definitely think vidding falls into that category. So many fanvids - yours included - have served to me as extra-textual commentary - essentially essays on the show in vid form. I don't actually know whether that puts them more as "meta" or "art," but given their format, I think a bit of both.

I love this essay. A+++!
