Welcome to 48 Hour Magazine, a raucous experiment in using new tools to erase media's old limits. As the name suggests, we're going to write, photograph, illustrate, design, edit, and ship a magazine in two days.

for some reason, you cannot escape people taking their clothes off at the slightest opportunity in second life, I had already encountered another guy showing us his bits earlier in the day (second one in two days, not including the weirdo a couple of days ago) and while we were chatting last night a girl hovered in front of us expressing her embarrassment at having no clothes, after staying there for at least 15 minutes without blinking an eyelid (as we are all born with clothes in second life and have to go out of your way to take them off, it always amuses me to hear the 'can't find any clothes stories'.

Kathy Hansen's Blog to explore traditional and postmodern forms/uses of storytelling.

This post offers a companion to your course in social software and multimedia literacy. See it as that set of short stories or classic essays in the back of the writing text book.

Streams are both literally and metaphorically the central image of this work. Streams of consciousness, and of data. Images of and references to rivers flow through the interface. Many of the texts I am inserting into the original twelve essays of TCR 2-50 refer to rivers and/or to writing. TCR 2-50 tackles a broad range of topics in the realm of new media and new technologies - from biotechnology to performance art - yet themes of writing and language are persistent throughout all the essays and thus form the focus of my response. The texts of TCR 250 are the raw data feeding this re-reading endeavour. Whatever the texts say or mean or refer to, as far as RSS is concerned they remain just that: texts

'Flight Paths' seeks to explore what happens when lives collide - an airplane stowaway and the fictional suburban London housewife, quoted above. This project will tell their stories. 45 Through the fiction of these two lives, and the cross-connections and contradictions they represent, a larger story about the way we live today will emerge. The collision between the unknown young man, who will be both memorialised and brought back to life by the piece, and the London woman will provide the focus and force for a piece that will explore asylum, immigration, consumer culture, Islam and the West, as well as the seemingly mundane modern day reality of the supermarket car park itself. This young man's death/plummet will become a flight, a testament to both his extreme bravery and the tragic symbolism of his chosen route to the West. The initial goal of this project is to create a work of digital fiction, a 'networked book', created on and through the internet.

With hundreds of works of computer mediated fiction or poetry available either on disk, largely through the Eastgate Systems catalog, or on the net, hypernarrative, its definition as open-ended as the many-faceted reading experience it engenders, is a primary way of storytelling in the era of the World Wide Web.

In the 21st Century, readers will turn on and interact with literature that is displayed on affordable, book-sized computers. Electronic fiction forms will include "narrabases" (nonsequential novels that rely on large computer databases); "narrative data structures" that elegantly organize fictional information on eye-pleasing computer screens; complex narrative investigations based on the adventure story model developed in computer games; and stories told collaboratively by groups of writers in online communities. Computers may even store their own observations and use them to tell their own stories in their own words.

INVOLVING THE AUDIENCE - STRATEGIES AND MODES OF INTERACTIVE DRAMATURGY In the rapidly changing Internet environment, which has evolved in the past decade from small text-based experimental community to commercially driven graphic interfaced media, writers of electronic literature must adapt not only to the intertwined processes of writing and interface (how the writer shapes the user's communication with the work) but also to radical changes in the audience and environment.

Imagine the stories we would tell, if we could construct video movies as easily and playfully as we now use spoken language. The Story Networks group explores storymaking principles and technologies that enhance cinematic story creation and sharing as activities of intelligent play and seeks to discover the empowering and framing constraints of designing these experiences for digital delivery over emerging networks in contemporary social contexts. Research complements, informs and is informed by research on Media Fabrics at the Interactive Cinema group at the MIT Media Lab.

Yesterday I discovered Why Some Dolls Are Bad, a project by Vancouver-based artist and curator Kate Armstrong, that utilizes Facebook as a means of generating and distributing content within the space of a permutational graphic novel. The piece collects images from a tag-constrained stream of flickr images and combines them with text written by Armstrong.
