Undergrads at Queensland University of Technology (AU), a group of youngsters associated with the u19 – CREATE YOUR WORLD Festival, and various festivalgoers are going to try out a new and different form of festival documentation. Instead of filming the goings-on at the festival as neutrally, as objectively as possible, the focus this time around is going to be on a subjective, personal festival experience. Equipped with wide-angle Action Cams, they’ll be sent out into the hustle and bustle for the length of one battery charge. What they cover and how they do it is completely up to them.

Subjective Point of View

They should go out and capture what appeals to them, which is not necessarily the stuff that producers, curators and artists consider interesting and worthy of digital immortality.
Once each swarm has scoured the festival grounds for sweet images, it’s time to buzz back to the Beehive, the Mobile Ö1 Atelier on Hauptplatz. Here, they can turn in their SD cards, upload all the data, and finally view their material on the Bienenstock Monument which consists of a 30 screens installation centerpiece surrounded by a user interface and Bienenstock user terminals. The user terminals will also be distributed throughout the festival main locations where the festival punters have the opportunity to view, edit (mash) or contribute content to the project.
