The Distanced Observer

From Knowledge-land-scape

A mounted phone, a large table-stand microphone and two go-pro cameras, of which one mounted on a structure that was built over the dining table to film the mapping exercise that was part of the interview, were required to respectively live-stream the go-pro recording, a conference call and to also record high-quality audio.

Other materials required for these interviews included a large paper map of Southampton Island, an acetate sheet and waterproof markers in front of the interviewee, and a piece of paper to mark specific timestamps in front of the interviewer.

This was in addition to another phone mounted on a tripod elsewhere in the room to record an offline version of the interview- and of course, the masks, handsanitizers, and informed consent sheets.
