Explore the practices and theories of screen-based literature by tracing the transformation of electronic literature from hypertext fiction to augmented reality stories to massive online games (MMOGs). The first half of the course is spent reading, interacting with, and assessing existing hypertext fiction and early indie computer games such as Afternoon, A Story. The second half of the course allows students to experience more immersive stories such as augmented reality documentaries, interactive fiction, hacktivist narrative games, and cooperative MMOGs. Students apply conceptual and aesthetic principles to build experimental stories and games in various platforms such as Twine, ARIS, Unity, and Siftr.
