2. MIT Open Documentary Lab The MIT Open Documentary Lab brings technologists, storytellers, and scholars together to advance the new arts of documentary. In November 23, 2013 the MIT Lab has launched_docubase (beta) at IDFA festival.

Moments of innovation MITs Open Documentary Lab and IDFAs DocLab have joined together to put the long story of documentary innovation into perspective, and to speculate about its future. We take an expansive view of documentary, and are above all interested in the pas de deux between representation and technology, and the resulting capacity to see the world with new eyes. 5. Moments of innovation 6. Documentaries today Few things can compete with the emergence of a new media practice for sheer innovation and unpredictability. Conventions, orthodoxies and routine have not yet set in. Virtually anything is possible. Consider the earliest years of film, radio and television, when media makers engaged in unparalleled levels of experimentation thanks to the absence of rules. Today, this untamed creative fervor can be found in the new documentary: a fast-emerging form that includes interactive, participatory and community-created fact-based storytelling. 7. UNRULY Documentaries Interactive, collaborative, location-based, community-created, parts of larger trans- media experiences. They are made by and with communities, journalists, citizen-activists, film and video makers, game-designers, community organizers, data-visualizers and ordinary people. Some production teams model their credits on the conventions of film, others on games, and still others invent new ways of describing their work. Why so complicated? Because we are witnessing a rare moment that is in equal parts creative and inchoate. 8. _docubase _docubase offers multiple ways of bringing order to this complexity 9. _docubase A large number of projects cataloged in a database updated and evolving (148) No video, app or software is actually on the platform Detailed information sheet for each project An expansive set of tags (metadata) to access each project. These tags permit users to organize the database their way, creating from it new collections, pathways and patterns of coherence. Suggestions from _docubases users for alternate and perhaps better tags. Language matters we will study how the _docubase community deploys language, including user-generated terms, seeking ways to enhance communication across the fields many disciplinary divides. Playlist Curation also plays an important role in opening up and bringing order to the database.
