The workshop by Donghwan Kam is linked to his work _After
Photography, _that is part of the exhibition _The New
Newsroom. _In _After Photography,_ Donghwan Kam renders iconic news
images in 3D and then walks around with his VR headset and a hacked
digital camera to take his own photos of the scene. Thereby, he breaks
through the numbness of yet another picture of human suffering to
create a personal relationship with the events.
The workshop will be in two parts. The first part is a presentation
describing the project. Kam will talk about the background in which he
started the project and the points of significance in the process. In
the second part of the workshop, you will actually experience virtual
journalism. You will access in two different borders that are depicted
in Virtual Reality. The first place is the border between Turkey and
Syria, and the second place is the Trapani port of Sicily, where
refugees arrive by boat. You will be taking pictures in the virtual
space. After shooting, you can edit the photos you have taken, upload
them to your SNS, or save them on a USB sticks.
If you want to take your edited pictures home, bring a USB stick.
