75 Reasons to Live: Rick Prelinger on Willard E. Worden

Rick Prelinger is a archivist, writer and media-maker, and founder of the Prelinger Archives.  Here he’s talking about Willard E. Worden‘s Observatory in Ruins, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco (1906), imagining the observatory’s contested construction and subsequent collapse by earthquake, as prophecy towards a proposed re-siting of the digital panopticon. Does that sentence make sense? Rick shows up in a number of other 75 Reasons talks side of frame. Look for him in Craig Baldwin’s, coming up next.
