My Guest Lecture: “Multi-Platform Art versus Commodity Intertexts”

The Digital Communication and Culture Department at the University of Sydney (which is the Uni where I’m doing my PhD) invited me to give a lecture to their Digital Cultures students. Tomorrow I’ll be giving the talk titled Multi-Platform Art versus Commodity Intertexts. I’ll present on the different approaches to cross-media/transmedia/multi-platform in mass-entertainment, independent art, gaming, literature and so on. I’ll also look at how this has changed over time (I go back a few decades) and how the theory around these forms has changed too. Looking forward to it!
