This reading talks about a media software being programs that are used to create and interact with media objects and environments. Looking at the software that NEW DOC is using, Korsakow is an open source application that is mainly used for documentaries using an authorised database narrative. This program launched in 2000. The web is a place that offers users the opportunity to understand and see details of our everyday lives. When you create a project in Korsakow, you are excessing interactive spatial montage, including multiple images, potentially different sizes and proportions, which would appear on the screen at the same time. As a designer you can determine the degree of latitude with these spatial montage, which change as the user goes from section to section.

A Korsakow film is self-contained, they are not networked, and they don’t depend on links to media outside of the film itself. The program involves these main kinds of editing:

-Film footage is selected and cut together to make raw material for each SNU.

-Process called ‘SNUifying’, which adds metadata to each short film including key-words, probability, and lives; and then refines this assemblage based on repeated viewing and test screenings.

-Editing involves the viewer, who chooses the next SNU to advance the film, and miss others they had previously encountered.
