The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Lance Weiler:  "An ambitious project that has evolved over the past year with what now amounts to a little over 1,000 collaborators stepping in and out as Sherlock Holmes & the Internet of Things ebbs and flows. As it transforms and evolves, the project has generated a unique experiential learning environment that encourages participants to apply creativity to adaptively problem solve. We’ve come to refer to it as rabbit hole learning, as participants tumble through the opening, we’re working hard to make them comfortable with the unknown."

What matters is that the work is making an emotional connection in some way and that the story is leaving room for those experiencing it to be playful.

Sara Wolozin, del laboratorio de documentales del MIT; conversa con Lance Weller. Se trata de un importante narrador transmedia que ha dirigido películas muy reconocidas entre los expertos del tema. Muy recomendable porque nos introduce en la trayectoria y experiencia de un realizador del tamaño de Weller.

'Together storytellers, game developers, makers, creative technologists and experience designers will experiment with new forms and functions of storytelling. '
Vivalist's curator insight, January 26, 2015 4:50 PM

Columbia joins the MIT and Duke University in the search for 21st century storytelling. It is interdisciplinary, that's one thing.

 

There are probably a lot of other academic programs in other universities as well. It's exciting to see interdisciplinary programs such as Duke' GreaterThanGames initiative give birth to awesome projects.
