Videochronic: Video Activism and Video Distribution in Indonesia
by: KUNCI Cultural Studies Center and EngageMedia
Date Of Publication: Nov 2009
ISBN: 978-0-646-5200
EngageMedia and Kunci Cultural Studies Center are pleased to
announce the launch of Videochronic. This publication is the result
of a collaborative research project charting how activists are
engaging with video technologies in Indonesia, addressing some of
the issues of technology-mediated social movements, and exploring
the potential and limitations of online video distribution.
The past decade in Indonesia has seen a dramatic increase in the use
of video as a social change tool by community, campaign and activist
organisations. Access to the tools for producing video have become
increasingly democratised over this period, and rapidly adopted.
Since the fall of Suharto's New Order regime, space has been opened
up for a host of new media projects to emerge. Individuals and
organisations dealing with issues such as the environment, human
rights, queer and gender issues, cultural pluralism, militarism,
poverty, labour rights, globalisation and more have embraced video
as a tool to communicate with both their bases and new audiences.
What groups are currently active in producing social and
environmental video in the archipelago? What are the histories of
that work? How is it currently being distributed? How are activists
thinking they might approach distribution in the future?
This 140 page book presents both English and Indonesian language
versions of the research as well as colour illustrations including a
visualisation of the development of video activism and online video.
