Interactive Documentary and Affective Ecologies

  • Chapter
New Documentary Ecologies

Abstract

There has been significant interest in the relation of digital media and the Internet for emerging modes of documentary engagement for audiences and makers. This chapter considers the relation of digital media and the Internet as a problem of ‘uncertainty’ and uses Deleuze’s concept of the affect image as a productive heuristic to understand interactive documentary.
