Fifty people One Question
April 1 2009
Now that the first year IXD have just embarked on the second grand ethnographic course, this video created by the very talented deltree is an interesting study of the rich amount of individuality that can be found on the street( even though it´s NYC, does not make it invalid in Umeå). I think most importantly it sheds light on the approach to people, the small but important issue of warming up, and although it is high-tech (well we are not documenting with an HV20 out in the field) the manner is candid, and the interviewers are seemingly unintrusive.
It is in the fashion of journalism, but I´m sure that if for nothing else it might inspire the field of ethnographic endeavour. And you can almost smell the summer..
