Documentary me
Timesnapper reminds me of the Paul Auster script 'Smoke' where this storekeeper goes outside his store everyday of the year at exactly 12 noon to take a photograph of his store front. The value comes through the existence of these images over time: each individual image is worthless. And that's obviously the value of Timesnapper. It produces images of your desktop every 5 seconds. I like the concept. The document of my day was, however, dull. It's only as good as you are.
What I want to know is that given that we're able to document our lives in ever more ways and soon to be 24/7 video, how are we to make sense of it? How do we package it for others? How do we make it, well, more interesting...? Please.
