«Nunavik : A Land, Its People», a virtual exhibit project on the Inuit People of Northern Canada
Abstract
Nunavik : A Land, Its People is an educational website about Eastern Arctic Canada and its native Inuit population and is intended for the general public as well as a learning resource for school programs. Its production methodology combines the spontaneity (and uncertainty) of field photojournalism and the usual practices of creating a museological virtual exhibit. This paper will demonstrate how the author approached the logistics of the project by using a constant back-and-forth workflow between the production's stages, and by harnessing uncertainty as the main driving force behind the contents.
