I had an idea in University which sprung from my interest in online communities such as The Well and my love for the documentary media format, using both photography and film.

Here it is explained and summarised:

A meme (pronounced /mi?m/) consists of any unit of cultural information, such as a practice or idea, that gets transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another. Examples include thoughts, ideas, theories, practices, habits, songs, dances and moods and terms such as race, culture, and ethnicity.

A Documentary is a creative work of non-fiction.

A DocuMeme is an evolving collection of documentary media centered around a meme.

I need to pilot this.
