SOAR Soar, Matt. “Making (with) the Korsakow System: Database Documentaries as Articulation and Assemblage.” New Documentary Ecologies Emerging Platforms, Practices and Discourses. Ed. Kate Nash, Craig Hight, and Catherine Summerhayes. Palgrave Macmillan, 2014. 154–73.

This Reading was very interesting to me as I had a great amount of fun playing with Korakow and was intrigued with what other thought about it. It raises a great point on what might the future reserve for Korsakow and with a forever evolving world how it currently faces difficulties when trying to use it on other devices that standard computers. The fact that CD’s are also going out of business and are no longer a part of modern laptops also influence what might happen with such programs.

Through the reading there is a clear understanding of how Korsakow is a form of argument and expression. Giving the creator the possibilities to touch the end user with deeper interactions. Soar quotes Manovich, who, gives a great understanding of how important a logical decision can be and how it will determine the ways in which each clip will be matched to create a relationship between each other. And as a media student, I can directly relate to this and use it in future projects.

After finishing the reading, it was great to get a better understanding of the different uses of Korsakow, how to include different ideas and raise points are we progress through the K-Film.
