  • Sean Hemmerle at the Sanctuary


    Artist talk about "Media Nodes" by photographer Sean Hemmerle recorded in the Underground Gallery at The Sanctuary for Independent Media in Troy, NY on Saturday, November 5, 2011. Award-winning photographer Sean Hemmerle, in collaboration with the Columbia Journalism Review, took his camera into newsrooms around the country. "People throw around this word all the time, mostly disparagingly: &aposoh, the media,&apos and &aposmedia spin," he says. "That made me think: who is the media? And what about the media? I wanted to put a face on these media nodes, the places where news is &aposmade.&apos" www.seanhemmerle.com www.mediasanctuary.org
