Making Workshop by Elizabeth Chin : Displacing the Ethnographic Eye | Room 1B53 | Leiden

Removing the camera from the eye and using such strategies as time-lapse and motion sensing, this workshop focuses on how visual documentation can become material that illuminates fieldwork in unexpected ways.  All you need is a smartphone and room to download an app or two, a sense of fun and a willingness to experiment and possibly look silly in public.

We will first experiment with apps that offer options for capturing visual images (still and moving).  Then, out in public we will gather documentation.  Finally, we will review, process, and reflect upon that documentation and what it might tell us and how we might make use of it.

Time

The workshop will take place on Friday 25th March, from 9:00 to 17:00
