VIDEO-DNEVNIK – a tool
Video-dnevnik is when time gives away a fingerprint.
Video-dnevnik is a tool to understand different cultures and countries by using the video-diary as a method of gathering moving images. The new aspect of Video-dnevnik is that the projects will create a dialogue between east
and west by building an interface in first Russian and English. This will maximise the communicative aspect of the project and give a broad audience in both east and west an option to break down the stereotypes distributed by main stream media. Video-dnevnik is using new media production and distribution means to reach beyond new and old walls and boundaries.
Video-diaries is not a new method as such. Public service television and documentary film-makers has been using video-diaries since digital video started for more then ten years ago.
The new aspect of video-dnevnik is to create a multilingual interface that is media specific and not a way of broadcasting television on Internet. That is why the project has chosen the Interactive Institute as an environment to develop the video-dnevnik interface. The Interactive Institute is a research and production facility based in Stockholm Sweden.
