Document your friends
Linda Frye Burnham / 10:35 AM

Forwarded from artist Harrell Fletcher:

I've started a new participatory website. It's called Some People.

The idea is that people select other people that they know or would like to know and make a web documentary about them. The documented people need to be alive and willing and really interesting in one way or another (and not already well known). My hope is that eventually the site will become a vast archive of interesting people that you most likely otherwise would never find out about.

There are a few documentaries on the site already, but I'm hoping people will start to add more and more--revealing otherwise hidden lives and creating new documentary approaches within the public space of the web.

The plan is that eventually there will also be Some People exhibitions, publications, radio pieces, and video screenings selected from the ever growing content on the Some People site. If anyone has interest in organizing a presentation of that sort please let me know.

Thanks and take care, harrell
