Every day, I upload new short video clips ("vidbits") that I shoot with my little
cameracorder. I upload these and tag them with relevant data (the place
it was shot in, the people who appear in it, the time of day, etc). Once this information
is in place, we can use Vimeo to generate short films that comprise these short clips.
For example, we could say, "Vimeo, show me every clip of Ricky Van Veen at lunchtime from
the past four months," and then we could instantly watch this new short film; this
computer-assembled narrative.
I made it up. It's a mix of "me" and "video" and is also an anagram for "movie" and also reminds me of "mimeo".
