contemporary storytelling

According to Google CEO Eric Schmidt, by the end of today the web will fill up with more information than what had existed in entirety prior to 2003.

As I have probably written previously, it's easy enough to find slideshows and videos about storytelling. You can simply go to SlideShare or YouTube and search using "storytelling" as your search term. But given that, for example, the  YouTube search results in 38,000 videos, it's a good idea to watch for others to curate the videos and check out their recommendations (the SlideShare search is set up to return only 16 results; if you search Google using the terms "SlideShare.net" "storytelling," you get 50,000 results, a mix of SlideShare presentations and sites that mention SlideShare presentations).

Stories have defined our world. They have been with us since the dawn of communication, from cave walls to the tall tales recounted around fires. They have continued to evolve with their purpose remaining the same; To entertain, to share common experiences, to teach, and to pass on traditions.

Digitale Medienkunst geht aus einem Prozess hervor, in welchem Kunstschaffende die so genannten Neuen Informations- und Telekommunikationstechnologien (NIKT) nutzen, um neuartige Wege des künstlerischen Ausdrucks zu erkunden. Die Werke bedienen sich moderner Technologien aus den Bereichen Telekommunikation, Computik, digitale Ton- und Bildverarbeitung oder Robotik für Projekte, die von der Netzkunst über die Multimediainstallation bis zur Performance oder Aktion reichen. Im Unterschied zur „traditionellen" Kunst spielt bei digitaler Medienkunst vor allem die Interaktivität eine grosse Rolle; die Besuchenden sind häufig selbst aktiv und treten in einen Dialog mit dem Werk, der Installation oder anderen Partizipanten.
