Preview Vidding Evolution: Community Change Among Amateur Fan Video Makers

Vidding Evolution: Community Change Among Amateur Fan Video Makers Lynn Cherny (with a lot of help from the vidding community and friends) April 29, 2010 for HCI Seminar at UIUC WARNING: VIDEO CONTENT MAY BE DISTURBING . Flashing lights / strobe, homo-erotic content, violence and gore My position I am a fan & a vidder, since 1993. (& I don’t make money off research or publishing.) I’m not “neutral.” I like hanging out with other women, talking about it. Why (else) is this important?  Our history is at risk: lost or rewritten. (Coppa’s “since the dawn of YouTube…”) The story is somewhat unusual: Women playing with technology, from pre-to-post Internet.  There are legal threats – academics and scholars can and do help.  There are technology needs here – participatory design? Open source tools. Annotation post-talk: “deviant psychology” is a joke here. This was about lenses of research possible on this topic. Video editing tool development Open source and collective activism My Ongoing Research  Surveys on fan community sites (LJ, DW, other) 100+ responses, follow up survey to ~60%  Informal qualitative research at con, email (and my own historical perspective – I started vidding in 1993ish on VCRs)  Online sources: Fanlore and other fannish resources, Organization of Transformative Works, community mining on LJ/DW  Social network diagrams/stats (2006, 2010)+survey data A few previous vidding links/works… Camille Bacon-Smith, Enterprising Women (ethnography of media fandom) Henry Jenkins Textual Poachers et al.
