vlog with your egg nog?
We are starting a vlog about dreamfishing. I am excited, because video enables the surfacing of qualitative value flows, value that is non-transactional in nature. We can see, interpret, and amplify things like value of increased productivity, learning, motivation, belonging, social impact and green efficiencies. And we are starting at a moment when we are mapping blended value that gets exchanged while people co-work.
To think of this vlog being in a conversation of vlogs, I would want to jam with Noneck‘s travel vlog to explore open source culture. I like the “connective aesthetic” that he brings forward, particularly in the video of Jelly, the co-working space in NY.
Video in performance ethnography as a research method can be powerful. I started using video in my doctoral research about social improvisation in Berlin. And then started applying it to consulting on organizational culture change. Individuals and groups are moved as they watch video clips of themselves and reflect together on their choices in the moment and interactions. The reflexivity of video helps people to increase their awareness and conscious use of self in the moment.
Soon, Marguerite Manteau, Pete Kaminski, Paul Loper, Johannes Klose and and I will have our cameras out with dreamfishers in daily activity. more to follow…
