FL - Transmedia Storytelling #2
WEEK 1 - BUILDING HOUSES IN PIG VILLAGE
SESSION SUMMARY
SHIFT IN PERCEPTIONS ABOUT MEDIA & UNDERSTANDING TRANSMEDIA
Human evolution from an Image-based multi-sensory perspective to a Language-based linear perspective of Life.
Universally, have become more comfortable with a linear story structure to everything.
We renounced our breadth of sensory experience to gain an accurate grasp of abstract concepts.
The subject matter, the audience, as well as the message communicator all, are limited in their potential from this distorted experience of life.

“The experiments of the twentieth century’s avant-garde artists, such as multimedia and montage techniques, were then combined with the ideas of thinkers in cutting-edge computer technology and science fiction, resulting in the multi-sensual, non-linear digital mediums conceived in the twenty-first century."
