The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Mona Shattell:  "How does one go about an interdisciplinary project spanning art and science? How might this look? we set out to explore how mental health advocacy, video game design, and documentary filmmaking could come together to enhance understanding and fight stigma about mental illness."

Dr. Pamela Rutledge's curator insight, April 3, 2014 4:07 PM

Eager to learn more about 'For the Records' and it's dynamics--interactivity, audience participation, multiple threads--and where the gaming elements intersect with the other elements.  All the things that create a rich sense of narrative transportation and multi-sensory experience may go a long way to shift perceptions through empathy.

the transmedia of fringe

the transmedia of fringe | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it

James Carter:  "After five seasons, two universes, and multiple timelines, Fringe ended its run January 18, 2013 on Fox. I’m proud to say I stuck with this show to the very end. More than anything – like other fans – I connected with the cast’s phenomenal performances. When the sci-fi was good, the show was great. When there was more “fi” than “sci,” the actors buoyed the show to the next peculiar portal."

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:

A great case-study!  Thank you James Carter :)

Asil's curator insight, February 3, 2013 11:11 PM

Loved this show ... it had some 'jump the shark' moments, but it was one of the best scifi series to come along since BSG.  I will miss the characters.
