I saw this here and there, and wanted to share. Farscape doesn't get a huge mention, but it's up in the first line, and it counts!
The Vidder: Luminosity upgrades fan video. (http://nymag.com/movies/features/videos/40622/)
Luminosity is the best fan that shows like Friday Night Lights, Highlander, Farscape, and Buffy ever had....As a vidder—a director of passionate tributes and critiques of her favorite shows—Luminosity samples video in order to remix and reinterpret it, bending source material to her own purposes. “Much of contemporary remix culture falls back on parody,” explains MIT professor Henry Jenkins.... “but these fan videos seek to convey the emotional intensity [that they feel].”
It is wonderful that such a large and well-respected publication shined such a positive light on a scifi fan and artist. Please go on over and read the rest there -- it's great! Please don't reprint it here -- click-throughs count.
There is a comments section. Not only should we compliment the author on a great interview, the vidder on fab videos, :D we should take the opportunity to let this publication know we Farscape fans, and heck, scifi fans in general, are around and kicking.
