Illuminated Manuscript, rewritten.

My project will be a new way of looking at Illuminated Manuscripts, as well as computers and other complex machines.
In the main part, I will discuss, briefly, different aspects of how computers play out in mythology, if people were looking back upon today, the dawn of amazing technological feats, as ancient mythos. Also examined [...]

New Media & Lit Project Abstract

For my New Media final project, I plan on doing a sort of supplimental website for a story I’m writing in Creative Writing. The website will include character bios, either full- or part-texts of the chapters I’ve got so far, and, hopefully, some other interactive pictures – like maps – or something that’s more attention-grabbing [...]

Project abstract

For my project I will be using a mix of art and computers….  I am going to take pictures through a digital camera of things that are ones and zeros.  Then using those I will be putting together a short  story or poem, in binary code.
 

Project Abstract

Basically, I will be making a graphic novel and uploading it to the internet. The webpage that it will eventually be at will be here: http://www1.hollins.edu/classes/eng264/grahams/rl.htm
 The actual graphic novel will be traditional (i.e. no hyperlinks within the text), but it will be experimenting with the reader’s sense of time and location. The ‘frames’ will serve [...]

Notes related to today’s cyborgs

I thought of this after I left class and kicked myself for not mentioning it – I don’t know how many will be interested, but I thought I’d throw this out there anyway.
 Today (10/29) we discussed human/machine interface and the creation of cyborgs.  How far can this technology actually go?  We discussed artifical hearts and [...]

Abstract – Cut Ups Online

While I hate putting this into real words and actually committing (there’s such trepidation that accompanies committment), I think I have the basis of my final project down.
I want to utilize the cut-up method of poetry we discussed earlier in class and combine that with hypertext – a linked word of one poem will guide [...]

Abstract

For my final project, I’m planning to create a comic/very short graphic novel.  I’m planning to create the piece on a single paper approximately the same size as the Spiegelman book’s pages, newprint-sized basically.  I really enjoyed the large, oversized layout of his individual pieces and think this size allows for a great deal of flexibility and exploration.
 I [...]

Final Project

My project is going to consist of a comedic story that I am going to post on a website using html.  It is going to explore the concept of non-linearity because there will be clickable images and words that will take the reader to different sections of the story. I also hope to explore resprentations [...]

the artifacts of love

Hi guys,
 I’m interested in creating a website (hopefully on Photoshop and Imageready…if I can figure out slicing->coding->php loading, arrrgh!) that explores a romantic friendship through artifacts. Instead of being given a linear story – “first they met, then they became friends, then they fell in love” etc, the viewer will be presented with a variety of [...]

graphic something or other…

Hi everyone,
I’m very interested in what McCloud has to say about the separation of visual art and literature and how there are no commonly accepted great works that combine the two.
I’ve started working on something that will either be a graphic short story (like Daniel Clowes’ work) or the beginning of a graphic novel.  I’m [...]
