Impromptu. VI Medical Anthropology at Home meeting. Abbaye de Royaumont

22 de junio de 2010

Unikum Swak was a surprise at the ending of the VI Medical Anthropology at Home meeting (2009) in the old Cister Royaumont Abbey, North of Paris. I like to record something in this meetings, never on a very formal way. Vertov, in the 1920s, spoke about the eye-camera, the eye cam. It was an experiment to record half and hour of an impromptu with a cellular phone Nokia Navigator in a Cloister, with a not very good light, in mp4 format. It is amazing to work in such situation, with a simple phone, to choose frames, to discover the best profile. Technology allows us, later, to do things with the edition software – here iMovie 09 – . The result, a ten minutes video is a souvenir, and an experiment. I apologize because a cellular phone does not allow to improve the pixels.
