Project Proposal
What do I want to make?
In my project I would focus on the online communication platforms, especially the conference talk interface because of its major relevance to our lives nowadays. I want to use the medium of the conference talk as a storytelling device for stories about the purpose it was created for and for the issue it presumes to solve: online communication and isolation during the pandemic. I want to create a series of theatrical scenarios, with automated elements, that will use the components of the platform - video, sound, chat, screen sharing, etc. The stories will be based on the content I collected and research I conducted for the past months. My plan is to create a web based platform that is similar to the conference call interface but will be built for the purpose of storytelling. I imagine it as an online space that contains rooms you can visit. Each room presents a different narrative- some of them linear and some abstract.

The actual content that will be displayed will be a combination of ready made and self created videos, images, sounds and texts.
