The Undiscovered Country
Jen and I have been working on the session we’ll be hosting at Vloggercon and if you’ve looked at it on the wiki or the website, you may have noticed that it’s changed or morphed a couple of times. So, with an interest in jumping into the disscussion ahead of time, this is the final version of the session description:
The Undiscovered Country
“Videoblogging is a new medium of expression — just as oil painting, film and jazz once were. It opens up a space where none existed before, and allows us to create all kinds of new possibilities for creative expression and communication. What we do with that space – what possibilities we invent – is up to us. There’s been much talk, for example, of democratizing media but democracy is not necessarily inherent to videoblogging, it’s just one of the many possibilities that we can create in the space that’s opened up.
With so much undiscovered country before us, where do we start? What is it that we want to do? This session will take a look at videoblogging and some of the explorers who are already out there inventing this new medium, and then open up a conversation for further travel.”
We were thinking that in order to get more than people’s initial gut reactions we could start by asking those interested a few questions that we could all ponder and discuss over the next week. Basically we’re interested in talking about people, projects and tools that are out there exploring this area that is more than just video distribution via blogs.
So who/what is out there playing/exploring/inventing/taking risks with:
1. Content – what you say
2. Form – how you say it
3. Process – how you make it
4. Money – how you pay for it
5. Audience – the people with whom you converse/collaborate/co-author
6. Tools – the hardware, software, services that make this possible
So who/what fills this bill? In what area(s) are they pushing the envelope? Please don’t use this as an excuse to talk about your own work or project. We want to talk about what/who is inspiring or informing your work or project. For example, Kent Bye is developing a new way for people to collaborate as part of his Echo Chamber Project. Rather than talk about what a cool guy Kent is, let’s talk about how this tool opens up new possibilities and what are some other ways people might use this tool. Or another example is Erik Nelson’s Carp Caviar project. For six months he’s been exploring and content, form, process and his relationship to his audience. How can I learn from what he’s done and incorporate it with the machinima videobloggers in Second Life? I could go on but the point is to open this up. A number of people have emailed me about participating in this session – we’ll, here’s how everyone can.
BTW, in case you were wondering, yes, “The Undiscovered Country” is a phrase from Hamlet’s To be or not to be soliloquy and yes, I’m quoting Star Trek quoting Shakespeare.
