Announcing my first TiddlyWiki. It is a single webpage that just keeps going. You’ll see. It houses alot of info, like a wiki, but it not editable by anyone else except me. (Though the interface leads you to believe you can, I’ll have to tweak that element.) Otherwise, the page is a handy collection of artist essays, articles and papers about the design of particular new media arts types. I have some areas that need beefing up, and am slowly transferring info I have on wikis etc into it. I also have not put info about cross-media design in it. This I may soon. I am actually working on a cross-media database for that. I may also add academic papers in there too. But, I think those of you who teach, or are just interested in experimenting may find the page a good resource. I’ve put a link to it in my Resources section. Enjoy.

Just a quick admin update. I was offline twice over the past month because I switched website hosts, twice. Another story. I have also upgraded to Word Press 2.0 but for some reason my categories are not showing. I’ll figure them out sometime soon. That is all, just explaining the faulty plumbing.
Cross-Media Researchers 2: Andrew McKenzie
This is the second post in a series of posts about new cross-media researchers. Introducing…
Andrew McKenzie, PhD candidate, Creative Media, RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia
Here is his description, from a listserv conversation:
My research is into areas of narrative structure and content creation. For my PHD I’m going to be devising theories surrounding the way that narrative and content must adapt for 3g Mobile Video technology. I’m using my thesis screenplay from my MA in Creative Writing as a foundation and template to producing content for Mobile Video.
As a case study I intend to examine Douglas Adams Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series in various forms including radio plays, novel, computer games, stage play, television series, and feature film and devise theories surrounding the relationship of character to narrative and exposition.
Andrew will be changing his website to be a blog soon. I look forward to catching up with him when he’s in Melbourne, and discussing narrative & cross-media. Yay!
