The Emographic Census is a mapping of territories from multiple perspectives - personal, emotional, and subjective, on multiple medias and formats.

While a demographic census measures population facts & figures, an emographic census collects subjective experiences and dynamics of emotions.

The first Emographic Census was started in March 2009 in Macedonia. It resulted in the collection of 3500 photos, 7 hours of DV video, 6 hours of HD video, 21 hours of sound recordings, 4 rolls of 35mm stills, & 4 pixelvision audio tapes.



NotThisBody is currently developing a database & interface for navigation through the collected information. We plan to open up the Emographic Census to collaboration from the public, through the use of collaborative online editing software by Kaltura.
