INTERACTIVE STORYTELLING: AN ONGOING JOURNEY.
Interactivity in storytelling is deeply rooted in our cultural DNA.
At some point, we tried to make linear media more interactive…
Kinoautomat1967
Zork1980
Then we got our very own platform, built for interactivity…
The Tunnel Under the Atlantic1995
And when the Internet connected us all, social interactions became part of the experience.
And about 10 years ago, we entered the modern era of interactive storytelling.
Since then, countless works of art have been produced…
From interactive documentaries…
… to interactive fiction.
Giving us new ways of depicting our reality…
… as well as new forms of entertainment.
Experiences taking advantage of the latest technologies…
… and getting people involved. Sometimes very much involved!
Audiences are not only expected to watch anymore. We can choose (and try) to have them:
EXPLORE DISCUSS CREATE PLAY
We can give them a chance to exert a transformative influence on our work…
… thus creating innovative (yet sometimes unfamiliar) experiences that can be more:
CUSTOMIZED SOCIAL MOBILE IMMERSIVE
And the best is yet to come!
Trigger
Inflated expectations
Disillusionment
