Jason Mittell, Assistant Professor of American Studies and Film & Media Culture at Middlebury College, is one academic (of some) who is playing and analysing the Lost ARG: The Lost Experience. I’ve covered his work in the upcoming ARG whitepaper, but for now check out his latest offerings online. He has two articles on the ARG, and encourages you all to feel free to add your comments to his posts:

• Lost in an Alternate Reality
• The Lost Experience: Part II

What is interesting (to me) is Jason is looking at the ludic and narrative aspects of ARGs.
