We are already in the final stretch of our quarter together. This week, as you consider the theme, look at these multimedia and participatory projects that deepen our possibilities for collaboration, and work with your own team project’s outreach, what are some of the issues you are now looking at?
At this point, I invite you to start looking at the works to understand how these media projects are contributing to an understanding of your own “big questions” going forward.
What are some of the creative design strategies you see, hear and read that you are drawn to?
How can they help you imagine your own projects? Expansions or limitations for you?
If I asked you to explain what you thought about multimedia journalism and public engagement before you visited and considered works like “Saving the Sierra,” “Public Secrets,” or “High Rise,” and then after this accumulation of new pathways these works offer, what would you say?
Do you think web-based storytelling needs to be more game-like? What are other ways you are discerning that stories can be shown/told and make an impact on our cluttered psyches?
How about content? What about “covering” urban realities or rural realities in this space? What would you think about the global environment if you happened to retrieve these artifacts 100 years from now? What do they show us about new forms of collaboration?
Imagine and engage!
