Ideas for how to make a documentary that is a “performance”
Online communities are replacing the oldfashion ways of passing knowledge and skills onto younger generations.
People are more at home and by themselves, and younger people in particular, because they have all sorts of new technology available to them.
Older people on the other hand get together, and share their stories and experiences with eachother. Thats their way of communicating.
The Unity Panda founders wanted to create an experiment /documentation about these different types of people, who created the same item( knitted panda -lifesize) in the different enviroments. They came to our lecture to get some feedback from us students, on how we felt about the project and what advice we could give to them.
Slowmoving , round, stomping feet, marking territory , eating trees /bambus,
~ my idea : All the communities to meet in the same location ( gallery,with all the progress hung up in the space as installation)
and dress themselves into the lifesize pandasuits-without possibility of recognising eachother ( bringing them together and out of their comfortzone)
To me it seemed like the founders of Unitypanda did not really know where they were going with the project, but they were learning more as they progressed.
I like the fact that they interract with people to get the project to where they want it to be. I think the project has a very big potential, if they listen to their advices from people from the different communities, because people can then relate to it and it then becomes interresting.
