Stoking the Flames of the Digital Fireplace is a creative practice based project with an ethnographic and auto-ethnographic focus in which I experiment with and analyse the medium of video-logging (vlogging) on the Youtube platform, interviewing New Zealand vloggers along the way to gain insight into how lifestyle vlogging functions as a means of relating oral histories, and how this new role within modern media impacts on the performance of self, culture and identity. The result of this research is a Youtube channel and specifically, four topic focussed vlogs, as well as the exegesis that discusses my journey and findings.
