Abstract

We propose a system for collecting and connecting people's stories. In order to help encourage participants to engage their "expression mode," we employed mobile phones for video capture, as opposed to traditional video cameras. As part of our work, we held a workshop in an art festival. In the workshop, facilitators capture participants' stories using mobile phones. Applying a question-and-answer game format, each video has connections to other videos. Our system shows these connections on a large screen such that participants can see an entire network of stories and add their own to it. We show the results of our experiments and conclude that our proposed workshop could successfully collect people's stories and connect them.
