Capture the moment – showcasing collaboration

Abstract

This study presents how to capture networking and collaboration in a community space using the methodology of videography. In addition, this research method allows presenting an artistic vision, matching science and visual art. According to Sherry and Schouten (2002) one of the more compelling advantages of video presentation is the ability to engage the audience with a multi-sensory set of materials that ideally make it easier to gain not only a cognitive knowledge about something, but also a more emotional and “resonant” knowledge of the experience of something (Belk, 1998). We filmed four days in Vászoly, in Balaton-uplands, in the first coliving in Hungary named PortusHome Coworking & Coliving. This space is an office with an apartment where people regardless of their job can work in an open setting or a small office. They can use the shared facilities, engage with other people and even might be able participate in events (Orel, Mayerhoffer, Fraticova, Pilkova, Starnawska & Horvath 2021). We participated in the Re-charge coliving camp and interviewed the owner, the community manager, the participants, and the locals providing the community-building programmes. Our goal was to explore the methods of tribal community building as much as possible and observe the collaboration between the participants. The result of several days of filming is a depiction of an intangible phenomenon.
