Undreamt Fiction
The Special Features area of Dreaming Methods is now showcasing a new discussion paper. Undreamt Fiction uncovers the inspiration behind some of the latest projects on the site as well as possible future directions the work may take - from a reduction back to e-books to an explosion of more multimedia.

Writers Forum Magazine
An article about Dreaming Methods and the possibilities of digital fiction will be published in the UK amateur writers magazine Writers Forum on the 14th February. The piece discusses the unique potential of merging fictional writing with other electronic media.

The Flat and Last Dream
The Flat and Last Dream have both been updated to include new soundtrack adjustments and more intuitive interfaces. Navigation has been significantly improved through the use of rollover text effects indicating additional clues and hints where previously there were only subtle mouse pointer changes.

Absolutely Nothing
Take a look at one of the most impressive landscape photography websites on the internet and a major influence and resource for an enormous wave of Dreaming Methods projects (from Fractured to The Flat.)

Event: The Av Social Late at the Tate Britain
Event Date: Friday 4th April 2008
Submission Deadline: February 22nd 2008

Summary

The narrative lab is a creative and conceptual lab interested in exploring all forms of storytelling and narrative within VJing and Audiovisual performance/production. Over the past five years we have presented symposium events, lectures, performances and VJ events across Europe and the UK and we are honoured to be presented the opportunity to screen a programme of work at the next AV Social event being held at the Tate Britain in London.

VJs have been telling stories on the video-screen for many years now, but in the world of narrative and VJing, there is much to explore! The world of digital media is changing, and VJing is being constantly redefined in terms of technical development, people’s awareness and sensitivity to what’s on the screen. We find that narrative is a way of mediating images and their meaning and so wish to make use of its application to structure the wider issues of development in the field. As a part of our continuing research we wish to survey and document examples of these techniques in the field of VJing.
