0
0

Interactive documentary event, i-Docs 2012, Digital Cultures Research Centre (http://dcrc.org.uk) Looks at tagging, locative and HTML5 video. Names to add to my word cloud ‘web-docs, cross-media docs, cross-platform docs, locative docs, docu-games, installations, digital performative docs…’.From the about on the website:

This is a space for people that want to know more about interactive documentaries (that we have called “i-docs”). You will find academic and blog references (link to resources), an archive of existing i-docs (link to archive) and a forum open to discussions about all the possible forms of i-docs you can think of (link to discussions). A team of experts (link to team) have decided to join forces to open the discussion on what is interesting and/or new in this emergent field, and on the ethical, aesthetic, political and financial consequences of the i-doc genre. We welcome your participation! Feel free to mail your papers and ideas to the co-editors of our discussion section (link), or simply comment on their posts.

From the emailed callout:

This year’s symposium will be organized around four topical questions that emerged from i-Docs 2011.

1. User participation in i-docs: how can the act of participating change the meaning of an i-doc?

• Where is the participation happening: within the i-doc or around it?
• When and why do people want to participate? Is participation an inherently good thing?
• What are the ethics of participation: where to stop and where to push?
• How do strategies of participation affect the creation of meaning within an i-doc?

2. Layered experience, augmented reality games and pervasive media: are locative i-docs changing our notion of physical experience and space?

• Is pervasive technology an effective way to layer the experience of reality?
• How does our perception of space change in locative and augmented reality i-docs?
• What are the consequences and ethics of tagging content to a place?
• How do user experience and design issues effect the planning of a “real world” experience?

3. Activism and ethics: how can i-docs be used to develop new strategies for activism?

• Is combining information with role-play opening activism to a younger audience?
• Is implicating the user in moral dilemmas an ethical /effective strategy?
• Where does an i-doc end and social media activism begin?
• How does activism fit with emerging business models for i-docs?

4. Open source and the semantic web: how are tagging video, HTML5 and the semantic web opening up new routes for i-docs?

• What new relationships are being created between documentary recordings and live data feeds?
• Where does the role of the author lie in an open source i-doc? Are producers becoming curators?
• What is the production cycle of an open source i-doc? Is it a finite or continuously evolving entity?
• Are users browsers or co-creators of meaning? How can deep engagement be encouraged?
