A year ago, I wrote about how we needed to reclaim the phrase "transmedia storytelling" as a community from the plague of buzzworditis that was surrounding it. Sadly, that effort failed: more and more practitioners are future-proofing themselves by moving away - either subtly or explicitly - from the word. Even Creepy Wonka has been getting in on the action. "Transmedia" is on the downward slide of usefulness as a term and it is time to have a frank discussion about why, so that whatever label rises to take its place doesn't suffer from the same excesses and failures. Consider me Brutus in the court of Caesar: I've come to bury transmedia, not praise it.

Eine neue Hörspielfassung von Franz Kafkas "Der Process" macht jedem möglich, den Roman-Kapiteln eine eigene Reihenfolge zu geben. Welches die richtige ist, weiß nämlich niemand.

Russell's disappointment in LinkedIn implies that the term 'social networking' makes little sense if we leave out the objects that mediate the ties between people. Think about the object as the reason why people affiliate with each specific other and not just anyone. For instance, if the object is a job, it will connect me to one set of people whereas a date will link me to a radically different group. This is common sense but unfortunately it's not included in the image of the network diagram that most people imagine when they hear the term 'social network.' The fallacy is to think that social networks are just made up of people.

As we journey on what Dante called "our life's way", we are all creating private maps and organising experiences and memories along highly personal geographies. In return, maps invite travel, they inspire journeys. Each place-name is a prompt for a story. We each project our inner-self into this fictional territory of possibilities. Each crossroad offers a multitude of departure points for the unknown, for the unseen, for the untold desires. The map of Inward destinations summons the spectator to accommodate and project their own experiences onto it, and conform it to their reality.
