In this week’s lecture we focused heavily on the concept of taxonomies. Taxonomy refers to the classification or grouping of subjects. In this lecture we were advised not to place works we view into categories but rather view it for what it is. In a course where we often view the conventions of particular genres this task proves to be more difficult than it seems. In relation to Korskov, they seem to be a style of film I have never seen before, almost like a mash up of a whole bunch of different media forms. Documentary, interactive movie and video games? I believe when I explore making my own Korsakov film I’ll be able to more accurately define it but it seems like a prime example of a media type that does not fit into taxonomies. We also looked into terms and conditions in relation to the Johnny Cash project and the terms and conditions of sites like facebook. It was said that all projects like this have a terms and conditions form in which participants need to click I agree. Are all audiences aware of the participation?
