    My notes my not make sense. But there it one beautiful thought. Perfect fluidity in sharing footage. What if everyone had a camera? What if we all had access to all the perspectives?

    Backing up… it strikes me how much the location lends to the conversation. The ideas are so completely different. Whitespace… creating space. It’s only in the absence of such outside pressures, economic or otherwise… dare i also say male sensibilities… that certain voices and ideas can find space to bloom.

    America has some great qualities… but basic pressures inherent in the culture over-ride artistic, asethetic and other subtler qualities that require the space and sunshine to bloom. Overlooked subtelties which are in fact key human elements.

    It is perhaps a dream to one day find that space and sense of belonging where without demand and conflict I could feel free to find true self… I’d always assume it an impossible… an inward journey only… the journey of a loner, a solo journey if ever. External pressures I had been trained throughout life rule out such sensibillities. That’s life, as they say. I find myself somewhat unprepared, elated, loving the possibility of belonging of a tribe… not bound by any of the fundamental economic/social/political principals I was taught as key.

    jurgen:

    new
    connecting with people (my terms)
    became a part of it (jurgen’s temrs0
    )
    exclusive?
    fewest numbers
    more variety of opinion
    diversity of opinion
    (must make videoblog guide of all participants)
    easier to get into it.. because of size
    what can you do with videobloggin?
    g
    more than interviewing
    artful ways
    (missed a name)
    “publishing”?
    canon
    never thought about video
    short clips
    on ….? theme?
    no need for perfection
    expectations
    smaller
    basic
    works
    same with video blogging
    social software
    society + videoblogging
    NGO’s
    change
    empathy
    still photo vs. video
    feeling
    boundries to publishing
    probelsm with connecting to the right people
    game as enabler
    jurgen was only german person!?
    again… heidelberg is incredible and inspiring setting
    post video thoughts
    it is remarkable how much context… in this case conference setting… sets the tone
