The purpose of this discussion
- To start a conversation about interaction and narrative.
-
To expose and discuss the underlying structure of successful:
- community systems
- games
- web based visual narratives
- hypertext narratives
- multi-channel interactions - To introduce the debate around 'interactive narrative' without going too deep into semantics.
Language
There is too much ambiguity and innacuracy in terms like
interactive narrative
or
interactivity.
So I decided to use just
interaction
and
narrative.
-
interact v.
act on each other. Derivative: interaction n. -
narrative n.
ordered account of connected events. adj. of or by narration.
A little background to myself
- I studied media, film and television.
- I previously worked with motion graphics design for television, film, exhibitions, and multimedia.
- I currently work in interaction design for the web, desktop and mobile applications.
