What is the lowest fidelity medium we could use? Would they be as effective in communicating the testimony itself?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat if survivors don\u2019t like the medium, do we still pursue the project?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These are just a few of the hundreds of questions the creators of USC Shoah Foundation\u2019s New Dimensions in Testimony (NDT) project \u2013 which renders Holocaust survivor accounts as interactive digital witnesses \u2013 had to ask before they even considered beginning the project, and a list of questions Stephen Smith, executive director of USC Shoah Foundation, ran through when describing the project last month on a panel at the Institute\u2019s 2017 International Conference \u201cDigital Approaches to Genocide Studies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The project \u2013 now 16 testimonies strong and still fielding more \u2013 was on display at the Conference, attended by dozens of researchers from across the world. This particular panel focused on NDT and its impact on the future of testimony at a time when fewer and fewer storytellers remain.<\/p>\n<p>Chaired by Jason Lustig, of the History Department at the University of California, Los Angeles, the panel allowed researchers to take on critical questions about the validity of digital testimony with the creators of NDT, and enabled an audience of peers to question and interact with a sample of the technology NDT uses.<\/p>\n<p>Kia Hays, program manager of NDT at USC Shoah Foundation, described her involvement with the Institute since 2014 and gave a brief introduction to the project by showing attendees survivor Pinchas Gutter\u2019s testimony using an NDT platform.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPinchas is one of 16 survivors we\u2019ve now filmed this way,\u201d Hays said, demonstrating the photorealistic Gutter\u2019s reactions to aural stimuli. \u201cWe film them for around a week, we ask somewhere around a thousand questions. Then we have a software system where a user can come up and ask their own question. They\u2019ll get a response [the survivor] gave during that interview.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alongside Hays, the panel also featured collaborators Dan Leopard, from Saint Mary\u2019s College of California, and Noah Shenker, of Monash University, whose research proposal for entry into the conference analyzed NDT as a site for challenging traditional conceptions and applications of testimony. Both spoke at the conference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m very interested in how we treat [Pinchas] as a human,\u201d Leopard said. Through his work with the Institute for Creative Technologies at the University of Southern California, he became absorbed in cognitive science and psychoanalysis as a way of critiquing cognitive science.<\/p>\n<p>During his speech, he handed out a comic book about how to read a \u201cvirtual human,\u201d and about the intricacies of the \u201cuncanny valley,\u201d where humanoid objects may appear almost, but not quite, like real human beings, eliciting strange feelings of familiarity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPinchas is a much more visual representation of a human, but there are stoppages,\u201d Leopard said. \u201cThe consciousness is still in the realm of the uncanny. Any individual chunk of data is actually specifically human, but the interstitial moments between those moments&#8230;it\u2019s constantly a disruptive process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Where Leopard discussed Pinchas\u2019 representation and its human-ness, Shenker focused on the NDT\u2019s user-edited and -curated approach to gathering testimony.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"media-element file-default\" title=\"New Dimensions in Testimony interview of Fritzie Fritshall at Illinois Holocaust Museum &amp;amp; Education Center (courtesy IHMEC)\" src=\"https:\/\/sfi.usc.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/ndt_ihmec_pic.jpg\" alt=\"New Dimensions in Testimony interview of Fritzie Fritshall at Illinois Holocaust Museum &amp;amp; Education Center (courtesy IHMEC)\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" data-delta=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first time I actually encountered Pinchas was neither in [his NDT] form, nor in the cartoon form, but in the 1995 video testimony that he gave to USC Shoah Foundation, and I recall in Pinchas\u2019 comments in that testimony when he says, \u2018I find it difficult&#8230;to be a physical entity. I became a video machine, a recorder,\u2019\u201d Shenker recalled.<\/p>\n<p>Pinchas\u2019 memory in those testimonies positioned him as a reliable, seemingly objective witness who was \u2013 above all else \u2013 recording to survive, and surviving to record. Shenker doesn\u2019t see him this way in his NDT form.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was something incredibly ritualistic and quite moving about the encounters between the users of the testimony and Pinchas,\u201d Shenker said. \u201cThe nodding of the head as he listened, the eye contact that was maintained between most of the users and Pinchas\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Shenker questioned the ethics of this kind of memory disclosure, and its ability to be as accurate as in a regular testimony, where the witness sits in front of one camera, one-on-one with an interviewer asking for his life\u2019s story. He noted, in his presentation, that the questions being asked of digital Pinchas tended to relate to his traumas and difficult experiences, and had become more emotional \u2013 they were no longer, according to Shenker, historic and creating knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>The experience, Shenker said, now focused on the user \u2013 the agency of the survivor was moved to user-driven imperatives. He explained that Pinchas no longer speaks to listeners from start to finish, but we must ask questions to trigger sporadic narratives.<\/p>\n<p>Normally, we must listen in order to hear the password, the subtext of the narrative, Shenker said. But it\u2019s not about active listening here.<\/p>\n<p>In responding to this and several questions from conference attendees, Stephen Smith spoke about his team\u2019s motivations and hopes for NDT. After running through some statistics about survivors\u2019 comfort speaking about certain subjects over time, and describing how testimony is filmed, Smith likened NDT to an exercise where the survivor is giving testimony in a classroom and is exposed to random questions from the audience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen students were sitting in a room with a Holocaust survivor and they heard that 45 minute episodic short version of their testimony, they very rarely raised their hand and said, \u2018could you qualify \u2013 was that the seventh or eighth of May that you were deported from the Warsaw ghetto?,\u2019\u201d Smith said. \u201cTheir question was more about why, what does it mean, how do you feel&#8230;what does this mean to me as I try to unravel this past and what you\u2019ve just thrown at me, how do I make sense of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Very often, he said, the reference is already not the survivor but the individual and their struggle to understand the past. The survivor, however, maintains agency because they want the students to start addressing the struggle in the context of their own lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s why they\u2019re sitting in the classroom in the first place,\u201d Smith said. \u201c\u201cSo what is testimony\u2026? It is on the one hand much more performative. There is a green screen behind him, and lights and a stereo pair of cameras capturing his 3D image in that space \u2013 hardly natural. However, when in that space, notwithstanding the apparatus around him&#8230;once that camera starts rolling what comes out is testimony. Because the space itself and the memory of the space and what happened&#8230;it doesn\u2019t matter how he tells it&#8230;he goes into a storytelling mode, which is testimonial in its core. The emotionality that goes with that is that he cannot separate himself from that space, no matter what the situation is.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":140,"featured_media":5239,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-789","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
