web critique #10 - videomachete.org

unfortunetly the site is not working. did i miss a memo on this? hmmmmm... i did find a few sites that briefly describe the organization. all the sites had the exact same information so it's good to know they have a clear description/mission statement. i noticed the location too and it's somehwere i pass all the time. i love learning about all these organizations that are just moments away from me. i would love to work directly in my neighborhood or nearby. would love to read more about this organization, the populations they work with and see the projects they are producing. here is the information i got from varoius site....
"Video Machete is a Chicago-based, inter-generational, collective of cultural workers. We are activists, students, media artists- both youth and adult- who are all committed to cultivatng images, ideas, and words that transform our communities, raise consciousness, and generate collective analysis and action. We use multi-media, video production, and alternative press to explore and document the stories and perspectives of communities that are erased and distorted by mainstream media. Video Machete is committed to producing cultural work that addresses real change in our communities and society."
