Intertesting video game

Hey everyone!

I first heard about this video game called “That Dragon, Cancer” on the podcast ReplyAll and was super moved by the story behind it. I was reminded of it this week while reading our assigned readings and thought it might be of interest to some of you!

It’s a really interesting game because it is based on personal experience and is very narrative-driven.

Here’s the link for the game: http://www.thatdragoncancer.com/#home

Future Cinema – 2015

This course examines the shift from traditional cinematic spectacle to works probing the frontiers of interactive, performative, and networked media. Drawing upon a broad range of scholarship, including film theory, communication studies, cultural studies and new media theory, the course will consider how digital technologies are transforming the semiotic fabric of contemporary visual culture. Our focus will be on the phenomenon Gene Youngblood described three decades ago as expanded cinema an explosion of the frame outward towards immersive, interactive and interconnected (i.e., environmental) forms of culture.
