Description

This audio/visual project focused on collecting short opinions or answers to two questions:

1. What is democracy, in your opinion?

2. What is not democracy, in your opinion?

Phase One began in the last week of February 2019. The initial participants were students enrolled in the digital video class ART621, as this activity was used to practice skills they learned in class. The resulting clips were looped in one file played during the Art of Democracy symposium on March 21, 2019 in the Student Union. Phase Two unfolded during the symposium. A makeshift video/audio recording facility was set up in the courtyard of the student union where symposium attendees and passers-by were solicited to record their opinions, in response to the same two questions. All recordings were collected in an archive to be accessed and used by the campus community as an educational resource. A copy of the archive is also to be placed in a time capsule and buried on the Konza Prairie.
