How this Wiki was used during the show

The Hitchhiker's Guide to an Active Archive was a radioshow broadcasted on [radio.worm.org Radio Worm] on 2023-10-24. It is an interactive radio play that was performed live by XPUB students Rosa, Anita and Thijs. They each voiced one of the three voices present in the script. The show could be recreated using these wiki pages and a fresh channel of communication (e.g. another EtherPad). Click 'START BROADCAST' to enter the beginning of the script. It is not linear, most sections allow for several follow-ups, depending on audience decisions, dicerolls, time requirements and performer intuition. The overall structure is captured in the flowchart above. Throughout the script, clickable links are placed at the places where the narrative branches. Also, soundeffects, audio fragments and musical clips are inserted in the script at the place they would be played (often accompanied by an instruction).
