Tropisms.org (vlog) started in 2002 as a personal video log or vlog, a weblog that integrated streaming video files with a travel diary. The site has become a collective movie blog with an international group of participating filmmakers.

Peter Boonstra and Marcel van Brakel (NL) are currently in Chornobyl, where they upload movies in an internet cafe. Josh Koury (VS) will trace his aunt and uncle, who have been stationed in a small section of backwoods Tennessee, by the military. Earlier this year, Luuk Bouwman (NL) went to Ethiopia to learn about computer love in a place usually associated with famine.

Tropisms is a bandwidth-heavy site. It uses Flash and QuickTime streams, so a broadband connection is needed. On Macs, Mozilla is preferable.
