Melissa gave her presentation (thank you, Melissa) on Girls Day Out, and we did some brainstorming on the final projects. The emphasis on this last project will be to create a literary work - a piece that resonates with the features we identified as literary and associated with new media.
Some features of literature in digital works might be:
- connections between theme and form that are unique to digital media (for example the hidden texts in Girls Day out and The Jew's Daughter; the organization + structure of interaction in 12 Blue; the illusion of choice in "All Roads")
- the use of motion, sound, visual representations, and textual structures such that these elements are interpretive features of the text's meaning (as in Faith, Storyland, and Nio)
- multiple interpretive possibilities arising from your choices for representation, metaphor, and interaction = all texts! (a general feature of literature)
- references to and re-conceptualization of other works of art or real-world events (as in Hypertext, The Jew's Daughter, Little Red Riding Hood, Deviant, Girls Day Out, etc.
- concept or image centered explorations
Important notes:
If you have not already sent Sam images for the pieces you will present at the final show - send them to her ASAP.
I collected Project 2 in class. Those of you who have not yet turned in your work - send it to me/provide me with a copy for a grade.
For Wednesday:
Anna and Yvonne will give their presentations and you will spend the rest of the class working on yoru final projects.
