Making It Easier To Get Things Made - Networked Production

by Andy Law, Product Design, eca and Mark Stringer

The Internet was created with free market principles and has fostered unprecedented innovation and promoted astonishing economic growth. Can these same principles be applied to the hierarchical nature of the Design discipline and create a true market for the commissioning and production of objects?

The Digital Future of Storytelling - Martijn de Waal

Friday 6th February 2009 14.00-17.00pm
Main Lecture Theatre, Edinburgh College of Art, 74 Lauriston Place, Edinburgh, EH3 9DF
Free but please RSVP to r.day@eca.ac.uk

In this lecture Dutch new media specialist Martijn de Waal will give an oversight of the most important developments in digital storytelling, both fiction and documentary. What are the most profound changes in the media landscape? What new opportunities for storytelling have come out of these changes? How is the relation between professional storytellers and their audiences changing? And how do online projects reach and involve an audience?

A lecture with lots of examples of existing projects, that addresses - amongst others - a shift from narrative products to narrative processes, poetic databases, real-time documentaries, user generated content, alternate reality games, viral distribution and the ever important role of the director as a creative genius.

Martijn de Waal is a digital media expert based in Amsterdam the Netherlands. He has co-founded DeNieuweReporter.nl - a Dutch language professional weblog on the future of journalism and digital storytelling. He is a member of the board of the Dutch Fund for Cultural Broadcasting Productions that provides subsidies for documentary, fiction and online media. He has also supervised the Stifo@Sandberg master class in which traditional media professionals are coupled with new media designers to dream up new ways of storytelling.
