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 […]
Instructor: Reg Beatty This workshop is about imperfection and an aesthetic approach rooted in errors (accidental or deliberate!) that utilize fragmentation, misalignment, and distortion, to look behind the veil of digital image-making. We will explore a collection of small browser-based tools that allow for the direct handling of pixels, as well as the creation and […]
