Submarine ChannelYay! DocLab opened in our lovely town of Amsterdam last night. What’s DocLab? Oh it’s only the most splendid interactive new media non-fiction program ever! Hosted by none other than IDFA, the world’s biggest (and most magnificent!) documentary festival… The opening shindig featured a darling donkey that visits old folks’ homes; a poetic masterpiece on the subjectivity of that crazy thing they call “history”; a physical manifestation of the seminal web doc HIGHRISE/Out My Window; and a chucke-inducing multimedia performance about the deluded longings of bored German boardroom execs. And the beauty of new media is you can watch it from the comfort of your lap (top) :-)
