Living room
here is the piece i was talking about just at the end of class today.. it’s a good example of a form of digital stroytelling that we didn’t really discuss but that resonates with much of our discussions –a piece that wants to reward reader/viewers, be experienced as coherent, is spatial, ergodic etc:

It is an enlarged intimate supplement to his memory.

Iamascope by Sidney Fels
“This interactive art piece explores this view of ourselves with a multi-media experience using an interactive piece called the Iamascope. The Iamascope uses a video camera lens as the eye of a kaleidoscope and projects a kaleidoscopic image of the performer onto a large screen.

(I know IT DOES sound like a t.v. show, or movie, but apparently it comes from a true account.) See: The Heart’s Code, by Paul Pearsall. [...]
