Summary:
Shows the life of a farm family on the Canadian prairie, describing the hazards, problems, and rewards of wheat farming; and documenting the changes in farm life and methods during the past three generations. Weather is portrayed as the major risk of the wheat farmer. A farm family is seen rushing to get the wheat in before the hail and rain come. Photographs of the period are used to describe the land rush of the early 1900's, the resultant "wheat boom," and the dust storms of the 1930's.
Depicts the activities of the Western Reserve Wheelers, a cycling group of which Ed Feil was a member, throughout the year of 1974. Footage primarily consists of the Wheelers participating in different cycling events and club runs, but also shows the group socializing with each other over meals and repairing their bicycles. A mix of different club members appear throughout the film and the weather changes to show all seasons. Much of the film was taken by Ed as he participated in the bike rides.

With my project, "When All Things Speak" I've been working on the artistic work that blends archival research, digital design, and folklore specific to the central and Southern central regions of Indiana. I am creating an interactive, digital folktale using the international Electronic Literature as a Model of Creativity and Innovation in Practice (ELMCIP) Knowledge Base and Indiana University’s Lilly Library to digitally entangle buried archival folklore, computer learning, and local Indiana storytelling techniques in order to exhibit a responsive folktale co-authored by human, community, and machine. Synthesizing digital design with subversive folklore allows viewers to directly interact with what philosopher Pierre Bourdieu calls the “field of cultural production" of folktales, connecting dark lessons of the past to the context of today’s grim realities. In my proposed project, many participants will play a role in authorship, the imaginarium of the tale will come directly from its audience, and the user is promoted to an active role in the meaning-making.
My research process is archival, analytic, and artistic. After examining archival folklore and collecting contemporary stories, I will analyze recurring motifs and ideas within the stories. Artistically, my design work will then respond to this data. Using my extensive experience as a graphic designer, I will develop new illustrations, animations, and typesetting, while also publishing the artifacts of the entire collaborative process in a digital artwork. Web-based and interactive, the proposed piece will be endlessly shaped by participatory tellings and re-tellings, mirroring the way mythologies adapt to contemporary moments. A kind of visual translation of the role and power that dark, midwest folktales have, my amalgamated tale will leverage the function that subversive, dark folktales have to help viewers visualize alternative futures. This carries particular relevance in this ongoing global reassessment of our relationship to the world around us.
