-From Jenkins interview of Frank Rose:
also think we're at an incredibly transitional point in our culture, and terms like "deep media" and "transmedia" are needed to describe a still-evolving way of telling stories. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if both terms disappeared in 15-20 years as this form of storytelling becomes ubiquitous and ultimately taken for granted....http://www.artofimmersion.com/interview.html/
transitional moment, games impact on storytelling, audience as collectives, impacting story.... What are some of the consequences of perceiving audiences as collectives of people who interact with each other and with the producers rather than as aggregates of isolated eyeballs?
I'm not entirely sure, and I don't think anybody else knows either. It's too new, it's too different from anything we've ever experienced before. It's not that we haven't had participatory entertainment--we've had game shows on TV ever since the late '40s, and on radio before that. But the idea of people working together to "solve" or interpret a story at any scale beyond the water cooler is unprecedented, simply because no technology has enabled it before. Will it change storytelling? It already has. Inception, Lost--because its narrative was so convoluted, Lost implicitly demanded that people connect online to figure it out. No one ever dared do that on TV before. Does this herald some emerging facet of connected existence? Definitely. How will it change us as a society? Too early to say.
Dickens as installments - audience feedback during narratives....what about documentary - if the process is exposed - if audience interacts and contributes from the beginning...
Technology has finally created a mechanism for people to have a voice, but authors are still working out how to deal with it.
much more immersive - creating a world. importance of these techniques for documentary storytelling - to have real social change....
remixing....
MIT has futures of entertainment, media in transition, data visualization experts, hub of doc filmmaking...
