assessment -

4. Introduction
• We have two things to do this week:
• 1. Review the remix videos from last
week
• 2. Co-Teaching Team Task: Create an
online presentation (no limit on the
number of slides) on the topic of online
participatory photography culture

5. Remix Video Review
• We will watch the remix videos
• Leave a comment for feedback using the
‘Comment’ button at the foot of the wiki
page
• Further work: you could blog about making
the remix video for your ‘personal learning
journal’ • How did you approach the task? What did
you learn about remixing video technically
or creatively? What do you think about
remix as a form of creativity and
communication?

6. Co-Teaching Team Task Outline
• In your team, use either Slideshare or
Prezi to create an online presentation
about online photography culture and
share on the lab class wiki
• The presentation should do the
following:
• Compare and contrast the Sleeveface
and Dear Photograph blogs as
examples of online participatory
photography culture

7. Online Photography Culture
One or more persons obscuring or
augmenting any part of their body
or bodies with record sleeve(s)
causing an illusion.
Hold a picture from the past in the
place where it was photographed
and take a picture of the picture.
Add a caption to explain the
meaning it has for you.
• Two examples of online participatory photography
blogs that have also become books

8. • The term 'Sleeveface’ was
devised in April 2007 by Carl
Morris and with his friend John
Rostron, he put them online and
created a Facebook group
• They co-authored a book Sleeveface : Be The Vinyl
(2008), based on worldwide
submissions to their WordPress
site Sleeveface
• There is also a Sleevefacer
iPhone app

creativity in action here

10. • Dear Photograph began
as an idea in 2011
• Via a Tumblr blog, Taylor
Jones invited people to
re-photograph old photos
in the place they were
originally taken
• It became a book in 2012
• The blog attracts 15,00020,000 views each day
and an app is in
development
(Hernandez, 2012)

12. What to do: A Summary
• Research – study the two photography blogs,
including reading background information such
as online articles
• Create an online presentation that compares and
contrasts the two blogs and your discussion of
this kind of participatory photography
• Record all the sources that you use in your
research
• Record not just written sources, but image
sources so that you can reference them
• Use citation in the presentation text and provide
a list of references at the end of your
presentation
• The DMU Harvard Referencing Guide
