The Golden Rule, also known as the ethics of reciprocity is the subject of my project. This video piece called ‘The Golden Rule’ is predominately narrated and composed from articles, essays and blogs sourced from the Internet. I have gathered the views of philosophers and thinkers on this idea to fuel a debate. The aim is to navigate and retrieve information from the internet’s digital memory bank, and to bring together minds that never could have physically met, to debate their interpretation and opinions on the Golden Rule. Bloggers will finally have their chance to take on some of the leading academics on ethical issues, and long forgotten articles will again find their voice. The video explores and teases out some of the possibilities of Internet based research, and exploits its versatility by retrieving spoken word and text from community based sites such as YouTube, Facebook, blogs and online forums. However, it must also be noted that much of the forum, in my video, is also contributed to by well-respected articles and academics on this ethical issue. The forum is based inside the Internet where the host, called MPEG , conducts the forum in what would appear to be real time, guiding the debate inside the virtual space of the Internet. The forum visualizes the interaction between the people and the Internet. Close

To make a documentary that focuses on the psychological and emotional impact, abstract moving image, colour, and sound could have on the audience whilst still talking about a ‘reality’ or ‘real event’. Fantastic Documentary method relies on exploring the distinction between fact and reality, of deliberate and productive confusion, remembering to snooze, exploring the colour of your character and vanity vs. authenticity. Its aim being to produce a documentary that cuts into certainty, leaving its audience unsettled and challenges the preconceptions we have about how real events should be retold. It is the abstraction and dissection of real events. Close
