CoLab | Embodied Technologies | Gathering Soft Data
Channel: CultureHub
Date: 2021-08-04

Through this course with Yo-Yo Lin, we will learn how to gather soft data, exploring how we can develop a practice of collecting and self-archiving our embodied experiences for deeper self and communal knowledge. We will utilize journaling tools to gather soft data in our body-minds. Then using our mobile devices and the Internet, we will gather videos, photos, and writings to create a collage that reflects our soft data. We will learn how to create a virtual camera using OBS Studio to perform or “video jockey” our collages live on Zoom with each other. Through this process, we will reflect on how we may collectively hold space for our embodied experiences using digital technologies as a framework, tool, and stage.
