Event overview
Part of Thursday Club Spring Term 2009
This is a special event co-hosted by the Goldsmiths Digital Studios and New Media Forum, Dept. of Media and Communications
Stories give pleasure and provoke not only because of what happens in them, but also because of how they are told. It is not just the sequence of incidents that makes Lolita, Ulysses, or The Odyssey so compelling, but also the perspectives used, the order in which events are related, and the distance of the narrator from the characters. Nick will describe techniques for automatic narration, discussing an implemented architecture for interactive fiction development. The system allows many different sorts of interactive fiction to be programmed, and, using a general plan for narrating, allows the telling to change during interaction.
NICK MONTFORT is Assistant Professor of Digital Media at the Program in Writing and Humanistic Studies, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
