Mediamatic/IDFA workshop New Media Documentaries
don't know that anyone will be able to make this, since it's in amsterdam, but it looks like an amazing opportunity to explore new media documentaries with folks who have similar interests. i am certainly going to make an attempt to get there. it's happening nov. 22-26.
some of the topics the workshop will explore are new ways of concieving, producing and publishing documentary film projects and how to deliver stories interactively.
projects will be designed using korsakow system, which i know nothing about but am eager to learn as it is described as an "elegant and powerful tool" for making interactive film projects.

exercise no. 2
an interactive experience
by ashley york
exploring life is an installation that invites the patrons of a funeral ceremony to explore the life of the deceased in a non-traditional way.
through an extensible collection of stories and visual imagery about the individual, the audience will be able to contribute to the narrative by volunteering his or her personal collections relating to that person’s life.
contributions to the story can be a personal story, photographs, home video in addition to any other collectibles that define this unique individual.
ultimately, the experience will represent the rich and varied life of the individual and will offer a diverse perspective of her as a result of the various material submitted by friends and family.
inevitably, an overwhelming emotional response will result given the oddity of hearing and seeing the deceased individual.
but of course, the most intriguing aspect to this experience is that it is controlled by the audience.
