READING DUE TODAY

"Real | Unreal: Crafting Actuality in the Documentary Videogame," dissertation by Cynthia Katherine Poremba. Review the Introduction (which was assigned reading for Week 2); Skim (close reading is not essential) Part 2 (pages 33-58) and Part 7 (the Conclusion).

PLAYING/EXPLORING DUE TODAY

SPENT (2011), by the Urban Ministries of Durham and McKinney
Actual Sunlight (2014), by Will O'Neill

DUE TODAY

Please come to class prepared to engage our guest in conversation.
Come to class fully prepared to work independently on your Interactive Non-Fiction Storytelling project (in other words, you may want/need to bring: hard drive, headphones, your own footage or imagery, etc.)
Browse the Klynt Gallery of projects in order to get a sense of the type of work produced with Klynt, and familiarize yourself with the software (the website has a robust LEARN section with Tutorials, Documentation, and Webinars).
Come to class prepared to lead us through one or more games from Augusto Boal's Games for Actors and Non-Actors. Note that many of the games require a larger group, so keep this in mind and select something appropriate. We may or may not get to play during today's class but from now onwards (until the end of the quarter), come prepared to lead us in play because we may decide to do so spontaneously at any time.

Thanks for the link. Susana Ruiz The "can games be art?" question... just as challenging/interesting/infuriating/useless/essential as "can games be documentary?"
