One of the first interviews with Julian Assange after Wikileaks erupted unto public consciousness. I made this interview in Oslo, Norway, in 2012, after trying to lock him for an interview over several months of back-and-forth and supposedly security checks. After having a 90-minute sushi lunch with him in Berkeley he finally agreed to an interview… in Oslo. I didn’t mind at the time. Oslo isn’t that bad of a city. By the time I was out with the trailer, the studios had sniffed out the property and were offering likely 7-digit range to the protagonist. I was left with a trailer and a learning curve. Meeting a brilliant mind is the best compensation possible.

It’s early in the morning so this is mltosy a jumble of thoughts rather than a cohesive opinion.-Throughout the whole diplomatic links, I keep thinking of how very In The Loop’ it all seems. However, Assange’s theories both seem to support and reject the movie’s depiction of politics.-A lot of contemporary philosophy/theory discusses how capable capitalism has become at absorbing protest, and what this means for art and intellectualism that find itself utterly toothless. A friend in our philosophy department is working on something like post-Marxism, trying to figure out what the next radicalism, protest, and/or social structuring can look like since Marxism, as such, is clearly no longer viable (if it ever was). I wonder if Assange is on to something viable or if capitalism will just find a way to absorb this protest as well.-Lastly, I find it fascinating that these links come from inside and are given then given to Assange. Um, guess that’s all I have to say about that now.Would love email or comments with further discussion! (Perhaps I will re-read when I am less foggy too.)
