<p><strong>About subMedia.tv</strong><br />Since its humble beginnings in 1994, subMedia has grown from a small group of determined filmmakers into a grassroots network of socially and politically engaged artists and individuals. subMedia scrutinizes popular culture and media through the production of film, performance art, video, music and zines.<br />Equal parts performance and protest, an attitude of art following action defines subMedia’s productions. From the regularly released and highly produced video blog <a title="Meet the stimulator" href="http://stimulator.tv" target="_blank">“It’s the End of the World as We Know It”</a>, to the collaborative documentary “<a href="http://submedia.tv/stimulator/2008/10/06/ground-noise-and-static/">Ground Noise and Static</a>”, their work injects a radical analysis into the culture in a most entertaining way. In 2006 <a title="subMedia.tv" href="http://submedia.tv" target="_blank">subMedia's website</a> was named one of the <a href="http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.05/networks.html">top ten sites to view videos online by Wired Magazine. </a><br /><br /><strong>About Franklin López</strong><br />Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico and based in Canada, Lopez has been media jamming since he started subMedia in 1994.
