Week 3 Online documentary and journalism

In this week's class, we did a recap on digital literature -- poetry& literature, such as some definitions from Komninos: 

Poetry that is moving, digital, aural, visual and animated (multimedia)

Poetry that cannot be published in traditional print media (digital)

Poetry that allows interaction (interactive, input fields etc.) 

(2014, QIBT ppt)

We were introduced with some other genre of online projects. For example: online documentary and journalism. One of the good creative documentary flash site is 360degrees－ perspectives on the Criminal Justice System, which was created by a group called Picture Projects in 2001. Their co-workers contained photographers, journalists, and other artists to create this triumphant online documentaries. This is a really good website. It has comprehensive contents. I especially liked the style that lets you click on different people's story, it shows different moving image and sound, I think this style really works for me. The combination of sound and image, from the visual to auditory, are all very impressive ways to listen to how these prisoners talked about their life experience. It is very attractive and novel.

Mark Surman, Mozilla Foundation: “One of the most exciting documentary film releases of the year... The film lives, breathes, and changes just like the Web. When it’s raining in Toronto, it’s raining in One Millionth Tower. Trust me — you just have to see it.”

There are some tensions between cinema and the Web that are difficult, maybe impossible, to resolve. In some respects, they are as different as the poetic and the literal. In cinema, much resides in the visual and the audio, and the fewer words, the better. In cinema, narratives (even fragmented, non-linear ones) unfold with discoveries, revelations and associations that all help trigger emotional experiences — for instance, secrets are kept and then revealed, or mysteries are presented and then solved. It's poetic. (This is not a pipe. —as artist René Magritte famously indicated in a painting that questioned how we describe what we see.) Meanwhile, on the Web, it's all about the text, the immediate, making all information and data transparent and all-accessible. It's the literal. (This is definitely a pipe.)

Katerina Cizek director of One Millionth Tower, a documentary set in a "virtual storytelling landscape" shows how to transform a dilapidated highrise neighbourhood into a vibrant resident-led community.
