Australians tell a good story. And have been doing so for over 40,000 years. Now it is your turn.
Access Innovation Media and TAJ Productions jointly present an innovation in shared storytelling accessible to all:
“By bringing together the traditions and techniques of our aboriginal brothers and sisters – and combining them with the transformative power of the Internet, we have the power to build a bigger conversation for change we can believe in – on a global scale.”
These shared and interlinked stories will be hosted online in our new shared Digital Art Gallery - (DAG) - Difference As Great. All content will form part of the Digital Commons.
The opening exhibition, Deaf Music, will showcase 888 commissioned “4-minute” stories from different people in different stages of life, from different parts of the world – and yet connected. The doors to DAG will open when the Olympic Flame is lit in Beijing on 08.08.08.
The Details:
"U Got 4 Minutes to Save The World"
-------------DEAF MUSIC-----------------
Must be a video submission themed "Deaf Music". All pieces will be captioned for people with a hearing impairment or for people for whom verbal English is not easily understood. We will also translate all pieces into a number of key international languages. For the blind and vision impaired we will describe the video (in a separate track) so these people get the benefit of the visual storytelling.
The rules:
1. MUST be one take (from start to finish) – no editing – no fancy stuff. Just your own raw perspective.
2. Must be shot with the "music of your life" in the background. Your job is to convey visually what this music means to you so someone who is deaf will “get it”. This can be either through camera work, or dance or movement in front of the camera.
3. Must be a visual story LINKED to at least one other story (you do this by collaboration). The link can be poetic.
4. Submissions must be received by 15 July 08. To submit, you must submit either to me or to your friend on Facebook who knows me.
