This amateur broadcasts the news from the dark desk in his bedroom to a wide and diverse online audience: Transmitted via Hangouts on Air, YouTube and Ustream: 100% confident and conclusive opinion on the geopolitics, human interest, cultural and technological affairs that define his world this week. Movie/music/TV reviews, Intl Politics, Tours of virtual worlds, US Politics--"Ukrain Crimea Russia - What can be done? should be done?," "What a wonderful world," "State of the Union - What did you think," "Snow and ice hit atlanta 2 time," "One million views on YouTube thanks for watching." From July 7-9th he will move his studio to a public viewing space on 37th Street.
Daniel Lichtman is drawn to the autodidact, or self-taught thinker and speaker. The character who confidently and charismatically develops his own, self-sufficient explanation of lived experience as a whole, enfolding the breadth of personal, political, geological and spiritual experience into a finite set of patterns and formulae. Lichtman appropriates and ventriloquizes this character, charting a tender but hesitant set of relations between knowledge, belief and irony.
