Instructor: Reg Beatty This workshop is a wide-ranging survey of small tools for exploring sound. Taking some cues from early experimental music, as well as contemporary practitioners, we will examine the basis of sound creation and work with browser-based esoteric instruments, ambient sonic landscapes, voice, noise, field recording, and unplanned effects. We will play with […]
Instructor: Jeremy Andriano According to its website twinery.org, Twine is “an open-source tool for telling interactive, nonlinear stories.” However, as Twine’s creator Chris Klimas says, “you can also make things that nobody can quite pin down.” He admonishes potential Twine writers, “please make strange things with Twine.” Inspired by Klimas’ request, this workshop explores Twine as […]
Instructor: Jason Boyd Interactive Fiction, as its name indicates, foregrounds the activity of interaction that becomes key to the reader’s navigation and experience of the work. In Wor(l)d Building, we will use Inform 7 to construct a storyspace — a textual simulation of a space that generates a story through the reader’s purposeful engagement. Participants […]
