In my continued curiosity in activism art and art for social change is its effectiveness to create social change. What I thought powerful about the digital storytelling organizations such as Scribe, Mapping Memories and Center for Digital Storytelling is that they all maintained a commonality in providing a framework that the art present an issue […]  Since some of you have been wondering… here are some additional notes on preparing and writing the mid term paper. To be sure, everyone has their own unique style of building out an essay, but because our material is so “thick” I would suggest starting “simply” by using notecards (or some similar tool for shuffling […] Participatory media — particularly in the art/social cause world — is something I’d never really delved into before this class, so it’s interesting to see not only what artists do, but how they do it. One site that Brooke Singer was involved with that interested me was SWIPE. It interested me because, when I first […] Spreadable Media’s co-author Sam Ford tweeted this to me today. What do you think would be the best way to share your writings with him, if you would wish to? Perhaps we can invite him for a Skype session to our class? Ideas?

While it seems contradictory, Stephanie Rothenberg is a reality-based artist functioning in a virtual world. It’s an interesting juxtaposition. The game-style interaction of the viewer the Second Life workers is definitely novel and engaging. In this form […] This week’s tactical media theme of exploratory material and reading from Charlie Gere’s Digital Culture wove together very well, and painted an interesting picture of art in the digital age. In exploring the participatory art projects of artists Stephanie Rothenberg, I was drawn to Invisible Threads. Labeled as a “mixed reality performance installation,” it allows […] Participatory art has always left me curious about what I’ve just looked at (or participated in) and why the artist choose to present their idea in this way. It’s been a long time since I’ve been exposed to participatory artists, and so I appreciate learning more about Brooke Singer and Stephanie Rothenberg. Stephanie’s The Garden […] Group 1 has allowed me to post their one-page workplan brief. I hope it can be helpful for you if you are building one for your group.
