4-5 weeks (2-4 people)

Analyze a narrative — based on a series of fictional or real events — and compile copy and audiovisual content. Imagine and plan three different environments, adding sound, objects and dynamic content at multiple scales. Design a cohesive system of interactions considering context and audience participation.

Explore how to convey your story applying non-linear narrative strategies. Consider how to create an impactful, engaging and memorable experience.

The narrative could be based on film, comic, real event, theater play, exhibition, social cause, video clip, etc. The goal is to explore interactive and experiential qualities, not on generating original content or artwork.
