"All the footage is recorded from television, in a two month period. I changed the order of the channels on my tv, so I'd watch a little more CNN and a little less MTV and then simply zapped as I always did, recording whatever reminded me of the conference. After taping over 30 hours, I loaded the best bits in the computer and started editing. As I got familiar with the material, I found more and more different shots which, when put together, told a new, more critical or absurd story. The doors team gave regular feedback on the rough versions and gradually all the different material grew into 9 videos, with topics like pervasive computing, measuring too much, or play. At the beginning and end of each video you see me, Marcel van der Drift, sitting between two old friends: Iwan van Vliet (on the left) and Edward van der Pluiym (on the right.) Making these video's was far more work than I ever imagined, but it's been a lot of fun seeing the stories unfold and discussing them with the doors team". |
