ABSTRACT
This chapter provides a series of glances at contemporary trends in the field of consumer digital technologies. Digital images have, in the latter case, been seen as negations of a truer, more direct, 'more real' experience of the world surrounding us, as a proper detachment from everyday life. In the field of image-making technologies, there are many examples of the present shift towards an increasing anchorage of images and of the practice of image-making within the materiality, physicality, spatiality and sociality of everyday life. The Narrative Clip is a Swedish-made, small, lightweight, wearable and fully weatherproof camera. The chapter shows how the Narrative Clip and the GoPro camera constitute two different modalities through which contemporary image-making technologies enter the texture of everyday life.
