Value: ?38,784 Digital technology and human vulnerability: towards an ethical film praxis

ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ

This project explores how the use of digital technologies transforms engagement with, understanding of and response to vulnerability. Digital film technology has transformed the encounter between those watching and the vulnerable other. While this ¡°ethical¡± encounter is the subject of discussion in film theory, researchers are yet to consider the full impact of the digital within it. Also, practitioners lack detailed ethical guidelines that move beyond basic questions of consent or good practice. The team will work with vulnerable adults ¨C those affected by terminal illness at the John Taylor Hospice in Erdington, Birmingham ¨C to co-create digital films. From their respective fields, the multidisciplinary team will identify, share and apply the ethical issues inherent to engaging with vulnerability through a workshop, monthly meetings, contributions to the development of an interactive website and an exhibition.
