• Description

At the Mapping Festival 2007 i will be presenting my paper – A Storytelling Model for VJing. Paul Mumford will be discussing his recent project the story collector, a narrative loop about Blake whose story unfolds through a collection of observations, objects and photographs all woven together to create the secret life of objects and memories. They reveal a set of actions, a narrativity and a history outside of perception. The jigsaw pieces demand narrative interpretation, activate memory, search the mental database and compares structures to give rise to a periodically shifting map of shared cultural meaning. The act of collecting becomes an analogy for the act of VJing and the connecting process in understanding. The story writing process a way of organising the fragments of the world into sense making patterns. The work takes a look at procedural practice: using rule based stragegies and process methodologies.
