Cinéphiles We Love: Open Doc Lab du MIT Fournit le bras de recherche pour l'avenir du conte Documentaire | Cinéastes, Industrie du cinéma, des festivals de films, prix et Film Critiques | Indiewire. "We’re at a moment where as a culture we are keenly aware of the technology underlying storytelling because the technology is changing so quickly," explains Sarah Wolozin about the Open Doc Lab at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

"The web and other emerging technologies have revolutionized how we experience stories. But technology has always driven new forms of storytelling and storytellers have driven technological change too. " Wolozin, the director of the lab, which is the brainchild of its Principal Investigator Professor William Uricchio, is a documentary filmmaker who has worked on public television projects like "The College Track: America’s Sorting Machine," "This Far by Faith: African-American Spiritual Journeys" and "I'll Make Me a World: A Century of African-American Arts.

" She has also created stories for the web, radio and live satellite programming. As director of the OpenDocLab, Wolozin is interested in creating a hub for documentary innovation.

CREW is a company that operates on the border between art and science, between performance art and new technology. Artist Eric Joris develops his live-art projects, hybrid performances with electronic and digital media at their core, in close collaboration with a collective of artists and scientists.

Their project C.A.P.E. (Cave Automatic Personal Environment) shifts the user’s presence from one place to another in no time. Users are hoisted into individual, state-of-the-art immersive tech-suits, combining headphones, video glasses, a light shielding mask, tracker, camera, backpack, and laptop. Helped along by a virtual guide, they step into another body and walk around in a far away city or a far away time.

The artist Paolo Cirio prints life-sized pictures of people found on Google’s Street View, and posts them at the exact spot where they were taken. For the “Street View” function of its online maps, search-behemoth Google has been industriously photographing the entire world.

They don’t bother to ask permission of the cities they capture, or the people who are photographed, literally in passing, as collateral damage in Google’s dreams of digitization. The artist Paolo Cirio turns Google’s practice on its head, and uses the company’s copyrighted photographs, without permission, to change the image of the streets. Life-sized pictures of people found on Google’s Street View are printed and posted at the exact spot where they were photographed. The posters are printed on thin paper and affixed with wallpaper paste on the walls of public buildings, giving them an ethereal quality – as if Cirio has made visible the specters of what would otherwise only have existed in Google’s digital world.
