I ran into the problem that creators of these interactive/participatory websites fear the most — frustration. I began by looking at the site about the high rises first because it contained info I enjoy — history as it’s told with the collaboration of newspapers like the New York Times. As I began to interact with […] I enjoyed all three viewings this week. I loved how they showed the amazing work possible with audio.

Not only was there the task of figuring out how to preserve the culture, economy and environment of the Sierra Nevada community, project coordinators had an […] This week’s examples are quite intentionally different, and deliberately juxtaposed. Both “Saving the Sierra” and “Public Secrets” are created by independent producers in an early phase of online multi-media, pre-2010. “Saving the Sierra” was co-created by jesikah maria ross and Catherine Stifter, and it takes on the challenge of working across platforms to collect, present, […] |
