Alternative Models of Digital Storytelling
- Biblion: The Boundless Library “is a step beyond the digital magazine. This free iPad app and upcoming website allows readers to chart their own journeys through NYPL’s collections. In semi-annual issues, participants map new ways of reading, processing information, and enjoying an immersive magazine experience. Images, text, film, audio, and more are tied together with online communities to create new storytelling possibilities.” 3/31/12
- About “Welcome to Pine Point”: “digital narrative chases memory and loss.” a “liquid book.”
- Welcome to Pinepoint
- It won two Webby Awards, for Documentary: Individual Episode in the Online Film & Video category and Netart in the Websites category.
- Highrise — described on Nieman Storyboard: “A more experimental approach to delivering documentary, HIGHRISE is a multi-city, multi-year project recording ‘the human experience in global vertical suburbs.’ Under the direction of documentarian Katerina Cizek, “HIGHRISE” uses layered images to recreate 360-degree views of participants’ living spaces, and offers audio of them talking about life in apartments and projects from Beruit to Phnom Penh and Chicago to Havana. Viewers can scroll through people or places, and click on rooms in a virtual highrise to find the apartment of a real person somewhere in the world. See the trailer or visit the site.”
