ABSTRACT

The world is precarious and changing, yet we continue to find ways to order and understand these entanglements; taming the complexity out there. In linear documentary, shots by necessity need to be ordered and fixed by the edit, whilst some shots do not make the cut at all. Due to the affordances of the online network, multilinear documentary allows multiple possible arrangements of audiovisual nonfiction content without the time restrictions to leave content out. How can we conceive an audiovisual nonfiction practice which senses the entanglements of the fluxing world around us? Over the past six years I have been experimenting with the affordances of the Korsakow authoring system to make multilinear nonfiction. Korsakow works with fragments of audiovisual content and allows multiple possible relations to form between parts. Through the development of two major projects, I have found Korsakow offers a way of maintaining the world in fragments as soft multiple relations, reflecting an ecocritical world as entangled continually doing things. By sketching out the practice I developed through this body of work, I will propose that Korsakow provides an audiovisual nonfiction tool to tune into and sense the indeterminate patterns and rhythms of the world.

摘要

世界是不稳定的和变化的，但我们继续寻找整理和理解这些纠葛的方法；驯服那里的复杂性。在线性纪录片中，镜头必须由剪辑师整理和修复，而有些镜头根本无法剪辑。由于在线网络的可提供性，多线性纪录片允许多种可能的视听非小说内容安排，而没有时间限制来排除内容。我们如何构想一种视听非小说实践来感知我们周围不断变化的世界的纠缠？在过去的六年里，我一直在尝试使用 Korsakow 创作系统的功能来制作多线性非小说。Korsakow 处理视听内容的片段，并允许在部分之间形成多种可能的关系。通过两个主要项目的开发，我发现 Korsakow 提供了一种将碎片化的世界维护为软多重关系的方式，将生态批判世界反映为纠缠不断的事情。通过勾勒出我通过这一系列工作开发的实践，我将建议 Korsakow 提供一种视听非小说类工具来调谐和感知世界不确定的模式和节奏。
