A documentary experience that uses personal stories to show a history of Zen and its fusion within contemporary North American culture.
The installation explores alternative forms of documentary. Specifically it challenges traditional concepts of authorship by enabling the viewer to have a shared ownership of the narrative. In this regard, the installation incorporates user behaviour, experience and feedback mechanisms to create new and unforseen documentary narratives. The project promotes the subjective truth of the viewer over that of the director.
