(HW)7-3 Creative Potential of Video and Art Education

Curating Oneself

  It becomes easy to create, edit, and share video due to the digital camera, smartphone, software and online platforms. This easy access to make video has been said that it enhances people's story-telling abilities. This also enables people to "curate" their experiences and memories as digital photographs do. People can choose what to show and share. This decision-making involves the decision not only on making contents but also selecting what to show as well as choosing the platform, forms and the community to share.
  All these decision-makings involves and reflects one's personality and identity, and going further, shapes and re-identifies oneself. The practice of curating self can help students see what positions and roles they are taking or they prefer to be. Thus, video is not a mere way to share one's story but to show and reflect one's agenda and perspective on oneself.
