PastSymposium | “New Paradigms for Accessing and Curating Audiovisual Collections”
EPFL Pavilions, Lausanne, Switzerland., Switzerland
Description:
Evolving technologies have changed how writers write, and readers read. Join curator Stella Wisdom for a talk about the British Library’s current Digital Storytelling exhibition. From thought provoking autobiographical hypertexts to data journalism, uncanny ghost stories to weather poetry, steampunk literary adaptation to Elizabethan medical comedy. Stella will discuss a range of born digital works, including interactive narratives that respond to user input, reading experiences personalised by data feeds, and immersive multimedia story worlds developed through audience participation.
