Patchwork Words on Readings Zero One

Ali discusses some Twitter based RPL come RLG in relation the first readings. Sam riffs of this further, wondering about i-doc stuff and interactive entertainment. Interesting connections, and there are connections between gaming, interactive documentary (including the horrible sounding docugames)and interactive entertainment. The risk in there is that what makes doco doco gets lost. Like that Arthur joins the reading to Nichol’s modes of documentary. Mark picks up the observation that doco already had close affinity to new technologies, but with digital stuff this even more so, and potentially a bigger change to the form than new lighter cameras. Edward discusses similar things. Tiana takes the preliminary definition that an i-doc is anything that wants to document the real using interactive technology. Natalie has a pretty thorough summary of the definitions of the different types of i-docs that Aston and Gaudenzi reckon are out there. Mia also does a good outline of the key modes of i-docs and how they allow multiple ways to present points of view. Daniel has dot points, useful as a summary and outline. Laura has brief highlights.
