Dave Gibbons, the Media TV guy asked us what is Termite's ax to grind,
what's it's goal. Sometimes, often maybe, I'm not too clear on the answer.
And it gets a little frustrating when we're asked to explain ourselves every
stop of the way on this trip. What is Termite’s goal? Do we need one other
than to be a video collective that's making something other than something
different from "mainstream" television? Are we political, are we experimental,
are we tv, are we art, activist, aesthetes, some combination, and if a combination
(which I guess is the answer) does the combining add up to something greater
than the parts? Sometimes I wonder if the parameters of Termite TV are better
suited to other less dreamy types than the four of us.
Sometimes I complain too much.
