Da WIKIIIIIIII

Tagged:

Since we've been talking a lot in this course about the ways that new media use pre-existing content, I thought that might be a nice place to start for our Wiki.

We could make a narrative out of content that already exists and mix different forms of media, like websites, books, videos and songs.

The other thing I thought of was that we could somehow give a different meaning to something that already exists. This is an example (and it's enjoyable so definitely watch it):


These are just things to start with.

I like the well-done example of slash fiction, but I don't think I quite understand what you mean in terms of the wiki. Do you want to take an existing narrative and just rework the plot? What form of narrative?

I liked the idea we had in class to start and see what takes shape from there. I think even if it didn't make sense at first, that might be the point of the project because aren't we constantly trying to make sense of what we take in? If the wiki-soup didn't make any sense once we started, I'm sure we would instinctively shape it in ways that make sense to us as we go along. In that way the process of doing the project, and in turn the content itself, would be representative of how our consciousness shapes and is shaped by new media.
