Huxley, Not Orwell, Was Right About “The Future” (i.e: Today)
Related to the notes I’m keeping on The Future Of Media, here’s a great cartoon strip by Stuart McMillan based on words by Neil Postman – as featured in the book “Amusing Ourselves To Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Showbusiness”.
I reckon Postman’s book would go nicely on your reading list with “Everything Bad Is [...]

Interactive Theatre and Experience Economy
There’s lots of great interactive theatre going on at the moment. An interesting Brecthian shift for audiences, breaking the 4th Wall, but perhaps important as it taps in to the desire for greater engagement and experiences – which is increasing as the economy falls. Being part of a murder mystery, solving the riddle yourself only to [...]

A very clever interactive video animation that also seems to be promoting the Street Fighter action figure toys from Sota Toys. When you click on a relevant square (opponent, action button etc) you’re taken to a new video showing the animation, and therefore progressing [...]

Auditorium
Auditorium is a lovely interactive music game, similar to Music Catch that we featured on TheScrapBook before. Control the flow of energy and fill up the bars in order to create a song. Go and explore it yourself.
Video Games Not The Downfall of Society
One of my favourite “marketing” books of recent years was called Everything Bad Is Good For You which, explores how popular culture entertainment (TV shows, games, reality shows etc) that is otherwise dismissed is in fact very powerful in shaping our modern thinking.
Amongst other really interesting theories, it talks about “telescoping”. Telescoping is what kids have [...]
