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 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. 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. I will base those scenarios on the content I collected and the research I conducted for the past months that includes a journal, interviews, chats with strangers, texts I collected , etc. I intend to use the chat as a place to share texts, links and host a bot that will play the role of a mentor throughout the story. The actual content that will be displayed will be a combination of ready made and self created videos, images, sounds and texts.
How do I plan to make it?
I intend to process my research and create stories from it that I think are interesting to tell, for example: a scenario based on the therapy sessions I do online. To translate it to a conference talk experience I will write scripts (like in theatre, not like python- maybe later) for the different “rooms”. I intend to create fast prototypes using Jisti and test these scripts and scenarios on friends, colleagues or even strangers for feedback. I want to understand early on if I’m going to concentrate on one story or many. Furthermore, I want to test if this way of using a conference talk interface even works or maybe I should expand and find other ways of storytelling. Meanwhile I will continue with my research, generate more content and experiment with visuals and sound as well.
