My Multi-Hyphenate Guest Post on Transmedia Imperfection, part trois

My transmedial musings conclude over at Tyler Weaver’s Multi-Hyphenate blog, with the third and final in my series on “The Beauty of Imperfection in Transmedia.”

The short series explores the idea that transmedia properties, especially collaborative ones that encourage audience contribution, need to include a certain degree of imperfection-as-incompleteness in their design. Audiences need a foundation and framework but also some blank space in order to meaningfully participate.

The final post looks at Ken Eklund’s “World without Oil” project.

Humble thanks to Tyler for inviting me to wax transmedial at his blog, and I look forward to returning the favor this Friday, when he’ll be sharing his thoughts on storytelling at This Monkey Can Type!

This is my (un)scientific, (non-)comprehensive, and (not at all) objective overview of the rise of collaborative storytelling: how we (more or less) got here, and where we may (kinda sorta) be heading. No particular axe to grind or agenda to sell, just my observations after watching this space for a few years. Buckle up, this […]
