  • It’s the peculiar irony of storytelling that the more personal and specific a story is, the more universal its appeal. “Each man bears the entire form of man’s estate,”
  • Grounded, as our species is, in the tangible, sense-based world, we effortlessly grasp unique concrete details: a childish sketch of a castle, two beaming women in white gowns, a golden-brown blade of grass. By comparison, impersonal abstractions—dying children, gay marriage, environmental crisis—fail to gain traction on the slippery geography of human emotion, or register deeply in our memory.
  • The problem is, she frets (her Southern accent riveting every ear in the room), “I don’t have an interesting story.”

  • “We’re all about the process,” Lambert concedes. “Almost any creative process helps open one’s heart, but digital storytelling has a particularly useful combination of intelligences, an interdisciplinary creative form that allows any number of ways to get to people.” Sometimes, he says, a specific image, usually a photograph, resonates with emotional significance for the creator
  • “The point of coming to the workshop is not to make a film that will make you famous,” he says. “The vast majority of our films don’t even make it to the Web.”
  • What she means is that she imagines (wrongly, as it happens) that the notebooks of the other workshop participants must be bursting with tales of epic drama. What she means is that hers is an ordinary human life
  • “Film,” Lambert claims, “enslaves us”—and he’s not referring only to work that is morally flawed, but that crafted with the best of intentions. Even when a commercial venture addresses a social ill, he says, citing The Burning Bed (the 1984 movie featuring Farrah Fawcett Majors as a victim of domestic violence), it fails to represent the idiosyncratic experience of a person who does not merely play a difficult role (in this case, that of a battered wife), but lives it. Just as learning to read was “a step out of slavery,” Lambert says, so “making your own movies is a step away from being dominated.”

    Michael Wesch, TEDx talk: TEDxKC talk synopsis: Today a new medium of communication emerges every time somebody creates a new web application. Yet these developments are not without disruption and peril. Familiar long-standing institutions, organizations and traditions disappear or transform beyond recognition. And while new media bring with them new possibilities for openness, transparency, engagement and participation, they also bring new possibilities for surveillance, manipulation, distraction and control. Critical thinking, the old mainstay of higher education, is no longer enough to prepare our youth for this world. We must create learning environments that inspire a way of being-in-the-world in which they can harness and leverage this new media environment as well as recognize and actively examine, question and even re-create the (increasingly digital) structures that shape our world.
