The goal of the Global lives Project is to videotape 24 hours in the daily lives of 10 people from all over the world.

2
00:00:23 --> 00:00:27
Right now we're here in São Paulo, Brazil, doing our second shoot for the project.

3
00:00:30 --> 00:00:34
We are a collective of dozens of filmakers, artists, architects, programmers

4
00:00:34 --> 00:00:38
and everyday people from all around the planet.

5
00:00:39 --> 00:00:46
We're going to end up with 240 hours of footage, and the idea is to take all this footage and create a video installation

6
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
The visitor to this installation will be able to walk through ten different rooms

7
00:00:49 --> 00:00:55
And each of the rooms will have the unedited footage of each of our subjects

8
00:00:56 --> 00:01:02
The point of this is to really take people out of their own daily lives and bring them into the realities of people from all walks of life

9
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
from all over the world.

10
00:01:07 --> 00:01:14
The first Global Lives shoot took place in San Francisco, California, with cable car driver James Bullock.

11
00:01:25 --> 00:01:29
Additional shoots are already taking place in other countries.

12
00:01:52 --> 00:01:59
All our videos will become part of a participatory video library of human life experience

13
00:01:59 --> 00:02:03
free and open for contributions from the public.

14
00:02:34 --> 00:02:38
Through immersion in this small but diverse sampling of daily human existence

15
00:02:38 --> 00:02:44
viewers will be challenged to rethink both their own lives and their connections with the rest of the world.

16
00:02:52 --> 00:02:58
