Photography, video and the documents that are created from these mediums are key components of the information age. They are critical
to the creation of public awareness and the resulting policies
that affect or change our society. Vision Project was created
to advance this process and provide access in an electronic
format, to people all across the globe. To reach these goals,
we have assembled a group of talented professionals with extensive
expertise in photography, journalism, multimedia, video, design
and education. Our goal is to provide insights and perspective.
Vision Project
works to develop, fund and produce documentary projects of
photography, film, video and the written word. The subject
matter focuses on areas related to: the arts; culture; education;
the environment; history; health care; human condition; human
rights; science & technology and social issues related
to society.
We seek to support
projects that create insights and understanding about society
and the world we live in.
Realizing the importance
that truth and investigative research play in our society,
Vision Project seeks to become a place where in depth study
can be conducted and made available to the public. Without
the free flow of information, people do not have adequate
resources to assess and make decisions relevant to their lives
or to create public policies or laws that affect the society.
The evolution of our society is dependent upon the decisions
we make today.
Because the resources,
financing, production, distribution and access to documentary,
journalistic or social research is becoming more and more
controlled, restricted or manipulated due to corporate globalization,
government intervention and/or the dictates of the commercial
market place; in depth, independent work is becoming extremely
difficult to accomplish. When evaluating the importance these
independent voices contribute to the society, Vision Project
seeks to create a venue where ideas, exploration and the completion
of such work can be achieved.
The material produced
by Vision Project is available to individuals, scholars, educational
organizations and policy makers, etc. for usage or further
research. This material will be placed into VP’s archive/database
and made accessible to the public.
Individual vision
can become a beacon that serves as a catalyst to human understanding
and enlightenment. Vision Project seeks to provide a place
where this creativity can grow, nourish and find an outlet.
We believe
that documentary work is a testament of our times. These documents
bear witness to who we are. They mark points of focus that
serve to illuminate what we think, what we do and where we
are going as a society.
