Did you miss the #Distribute2020 Day 3 keynotes during loop 1? Here they come again!

*Starting now*

"The video is an invitation to participate in the Yolnu art of connection. It is a remix of a book, which was a remix of an exhibition, which was a remix of a series of small artworks made by remixing the photographs of our everyday lives in the mobile phones we use to connect"

"Phone & Spear: A Yuta Anthropology is a project inspired by the gloriously cheeky and deeply meaningful audiovisual media made with and circulated by mobile phones by an extended Aboriginal family in northern Australia."

If you're enjoying the #Distribute2020 keynote "Making Worlds Otherwise" · "Hacer mundos de otra manera" be sure to check out the Miyarrka Media website (linked above in this thread) and connect with them via their instagram account: instagram.com/miyarrka_media/

Up next, "Against Institutional Murder" · "Contra el asesinato institucional"

Dalit Camera is a YouTube channel that archives the experiences of Dalits. This film is a story told via protest video, documenting the aftermath of the death of Rohith Vemula. #Distribute2020

In the #VirtualHallway, Elizabeth Chin tells us about how she felt as though she was 'in conversation' with the Miyarrka Media keynote by sharing her screen to show images from the #Distribute2020 alongside a photo of her own ancestors.

@WilliLempert in the #VirtualHallway talking about both the Miyarrka Media keynote & the Dalit Camera keynote:
"I like to think about images and sounds as forms of care and remember that aesthetics are not separate from ethics and politics."

#Distribute2020 @SocietyVisAnth

The Miyarrka piece refuses the idea of the digital screen as a "portal into another world" but instead highlights the virtual networks and relations that allow for those images to emerge in the first place - @anandspandian in the #Distribute2020 #VirtualHallway

@anandspandian follows-up with a question for the room, "what if our own multiply mediated #anthropology moved further in this direction? What if we worked to make more present these relational networks themselves?"

#Distribute2020 @SocietyVisAnth 2/2

Folks discussing the anthropological proclivity toward patterns & 'patterns as method'. Zeynep Gürsel draws on the concept of 'humming' from Phone & Spear to explain how the Miyarrka Media & the Distributed Multimodalities day 2 panel are coming together for her. #Distribute2020

It would be so cool if all these folks could come together with @trgenovese @alchemyburns @visual_gonthros @fukudapero @nasrat and @js_rubin to discuss this and how their panels disrupt/fuck with/and play with audio-visual patterns!
