Does storytelling change in context of new forms of media?
This is the title and central question of a great article in The Philadelphia Inquirer today, in which the writer Katie Haegele asks some well-considered questions of Sue Thomas from DMU, Scott Lloyd DeWitt (director of the digital media project at the Department of English at Ohio State University) and Robert Coover (a Professor of Literary Arts at Brown University):
1 comment…what about the writing experience? Is literary writing for digital media different in a way that matters?
…Does good, old-fashioned storytelling really change just because it is distributed in new forms of media?
Google Will Eat Itself project censored by Google
Google Will Eat Itself announced that is now fully censored on all Google Search-Indexes worldwide.
The idea behind GWEI is simple:
Google Will Eat Itself generates money by serving Google text advertisments on a network of hidden Websites. With this money GWEI automatically buy Google shares. GWEI buys Google via their own advertisment. Google eats itself - but in the end “we†own it. By establishing this autocannibalistic model we deconstruct the new global advertisment mechanisms by rendering them into a surreal click-based economic model. After this process GWEI hands over the common ownership of “our†Google Shares to the GTTP Ltd. [Google To The People Public Company] which distributes them back to the users (clickers) / public.
