Creating a Collective Human History
Human history is defined largely by the information our ancestors were able to create and store. But our record of the past is skewed by the powerful or privileged few who were capable of documenting the world around them. We are the first generation to record and share the smallest details of everday life on a massive scale, and the first with an opportunity to create a truly collective human history. But to secure our place in tomorrow’s past, we need to think much more carefully about what we’re doing today.
More About Joe…
Joe Tree is founder and CEO of the popular photography site Blipfoto. In 2004 Joe started a daily photo journal, and every day since he’s taken and openly shared a single photograph. In isolation his journal is a unique record of one person’s life, but tens of thousands more have joined in along the way. He’s now at the centre of a unique and rapidly expanding worldwide community of ordinary people who share their lives through photos, one day at a time.
