The 'Are you happy?' project addresses the creative and aesthetic challenges and possibilities of the newly emerging “networked” documentary. 50 years on from Jean Rouch & Edgar Morin’s seminal 1960 documentary ‘Chronique d’un Ete’, at a new moment of technological change, film makers and film enthusiasts around the world have responded to a call to revisit or restage the vox pops sequence from that film.
The affordances of online connectivity offer the potential for live re-contextualisation of documentary material, through mobilising the co-creative potential of human discourse captured in the web. Drawing on these new resources, The ‘Are you happy?’ project experiments with a new visual and informational grammar, reframing Rouch’s notion of “shared anthropology” in the context of networked culture.
