The studio researches and incubates collective creation, through a constellation of media methods. For us, co-creation can occur within communities, across disciplines and with non-human systems such as Artificial Intelligence, as outlined in our book, Collective Wisdom: Co-Creation Media for Equity and Justice. We work within the context of the MIT Open Documentary Lab, where we bring together storytellers, technologists, and scholars to explore new documentary forms with a particular focus on collaborative and immersive storytelling. A center for documentary research, the lab offers courses, workshops, a fellows program, public lectures, and conferences; it incubates projects; and it develops resources and critical discourse. Projects incubated at our lab have premiered at Sundance, Venice, Tribeca festivals and have won Emmys and Webbys, Ars Electronica along with many other global awards. In the spirit of MIT’s open courseware and open source software movements, the Open Documentary Lab is inclusive, collaborative and committed to sharing knowledge, networks, and tools.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article> <footer class="blog-back flex-center"> <div class="wp-block-button is-style-fill"><a href="https://iso-bea.ca/news-events/" class="wp-block-button__link wp-element-button" aria-disabled="false">Back to News and Events</a></div></footer> </main> <footer id="colophon" class="site-footer has-white-color has-indigo-background-color"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12 col-xl-4"> <div class="footer-branding"> <img width="723" height="102" src="https://iso-bea.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/iso-logo-bilingual-reversed.svg" class="custom-logo" alt="Indigenous Screen Office" decoding="async" loading="lazy" style="object-position:50% 50%;" /> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-xl-8"> <div class="footer-territory-acknowledgement has-sm-font-size"> <p>The ISO office is located on the Haldimand Tract, part of the reserve land given to the Haudenosaunee people of Six Nations in the Haldimand Proclamation of 1784.
