In order to give some elements of answer to the questions raised during this symposium on the need for proper guidelines to evaluate non-literary forms of representation in anthropology, and on the need for other ways of knowing and communicating about 'the human condition' the three of us decided to elaborate a presentation instead of producing a paper or a Powerpoint.
The idea was to closely link the ways we could think, read and look with some practical output or with some digital conceptualization.
Our methodology: we met once a month during the 6 months prior to this panel to share our different point of views, our questions, hesitations and to conceive an interactive object.
Understanding, social awareness, sensitive perception of the space without mentioning it
The text gives access to information without any chance to visualize it, except by our own imagination.
We try to render some kind of hybrid publicationby mixing sources and to have text and pictures on the same frame or at least on the same screen even if the frame could be successive and not alternative.
How to read meaningful elements captured by the pictures?
How to understand visual elements from the textual?
