This class explores the interactivity and narrative of digital media through the creation of audio and video projects. We will analyze literature, films, video games, and interactive art to explore various forms of dynamic storytelling, particularly in relation to memory and time. This course focuses on three particular areas within the larger topic of Digital Storytelling: Iterative and Interactive Storytelling, Audio Storytelling, and Data-Oriented Storytelling. Content covered includes podcasts, internet memes, comics, video games, hip-hop sampling aesthetics, as well as academic forms of digital scholarship, digital humanities projects, and digital archives. As this is a production class, be aware that you will use equipment or software that may be unfamiliar at first. However, the instructor will provide thorough demonstrations to help youget started.
