‘This is NOT a Video Camera’ at TEDx

InsightShare’s Co-Founder, Chris Lunch, believes in the power of combining technology with participation to shift awareness, galvanise communities and unleash hidden energy for positive individual and collective change. This is the topsy turvy world of Participatory Video; where the subjects of a film become the directors; where passive recipients of aid become active change-makers.

In 2013, Chris gave a presentation at TEDx: a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. His talk, titled ‘This is not a video camera’, takes inspiration from surrealist artist Rene Magritte’s painting: Ceci n’est pas une pipe, as he asks us to re-look at what we think we know about this technology.
