Usually i take too much pics and vids so that I asked myself the day after if I were really there. I missed so many moments what I just captured in my phone but not in my brain. This was the first festival/event that I decided to take zero, really zero pics and vids. But I can tell you, thats also not the right way. I have pics and vids, from my friends, but I miss the moment I was in. My special view on the things
Okay Fusion is not the right example to say that but personally I think the middle of between is the best way. But anyway don‘t stop raving/vibing/feeling the moment. That‘s the most important. And don‘t filming directly in someones face. Fusion should be still a safe space for everyone.
Please don‘t judge me now
Thanks for your input. I think it's great that you -- normally perhaps being on the other end of the scale -- were open to go all the way opposite. My **personal** view is, ofc, stay in the moment, as well. But aside that, I just don't wish to be bothered SEEING these phones everywhere, ruining this moment, and ofc that things mainly stay off social media/the internet.
I believe there can be a middle ground somewhere. And its not that hard to figure out I think: If one really wants to take a quick pic of something, a band or some art, be mindful, dont hold the phone into peoples faces and dont invade their privacy. If you see people do
things, put the phone away for a sec.
If one decides to post something online, have a quick look if any faces are clearly visible and identifiable, if so, censor it or dont post it at all. Dont make the Fusion into a photo excursion, have a few snaps for the memories or to send something cool to friends or relatives. Thats it. Nobody is going to watch 2min clips of a shaky recording with bad sound quality. And especially dont stream to your friends, family or worst of all, your followers.
I myself like to take some pics, especially some cool art stuff or light installations. When doing so, I take a few seconds to find a good spot, wait for people to get out of my shot/find a better angle and then just press the button a couple of times, one of them is gonna be good. And then I move on instead of becoming a nuisance to people nearby by standing there like a cliche tourist fiddling with their ISO setting to get just the right light or some shit.
I also filmed a short vid this year for a friend, a 10s clip of one our favorite bands, when doing so, I made sure to film over the crowd, standing at the back at Rosa Platz. My friend is the only one who got the video and it stays on my phone memory.
There is no need to document everything, and a few pics here and there or a short clip are enough to refresh the memory when looking back some time later.
Especially for me that helps, after 6 Fusions everything starts to become a blur and its increasingly hard to tell what happened when
