The course aims to analyze and confront in practice the characteristics of non-linear and interactive narrative, by resorting to models taken from traditional media (literature, video and film, architecture, installation and game playing) as well as from contemporary digital work.
The course explores the various principles underlying non-linear work, such as excess, fragmentation, multiplicity of points of view, erasure, interruption, dialogue. Viewings, readings and critiqued exercises supply means for students to examine issues of navigation in time and space, the placement of the user, interactive and collaborative authoring, open and closed compositions.
The course includes three short term exercises in accordance with the topics demonstrated and discussed in class, class presentations and a final individual project using basic authoring and multimedia tools. No programming experience is necessary.
