Description

My research examines how physical artifacts can support the interactive process of engaging with a narrative and the motives, factors, and mechanisms that lead to its enjoyment. It contributes a fully implemented design case, Letter to Jose, to the repository of interactive digital narratives and the limited body of works of tangible narratives. Letter to Jose is an interactive non-linear narrative inspired by the exchange of letters between two brothers: Jesus-a young medical student-and Jose-an air recruit. In a physical/ digital hybrid form, Letter to Jose is presented as three interactive, physically unfolding story worlds that combine unique paper mechanisms with different visual, performative, ad auditory modes. Finally, my work contributes towards an authoring model that considers the relationships between physical artifacts, their characteristic and functions in the experience, and how the narrative structure affords the intervention of physical manipulation.
