Introduction

 


Hey everyone! My name is Gwen West and I am a junior Recreation Management and Policy major with a focus in Program and Event Management, as well as minoring in English. I'm really excited for Digital Literature and to learn more about the different ways our current world incorporates literature into our modern technology. I play women's club volleyball for UNH and I've been a student leader this year, which has been so fun. In my free time I'm usually hanging out with friends, getting coffee, listening to just about anything, or journaling. Some of my hobbies include yoga, cooking, hiking, camping, and fishing. I'm excited to make friends in this class and get to know everyone!

It feels as if every choice I have made in my life over the past "22 (Taylor's Version)" years has led me to this moment.

VR and Empathy Machine's

 What I really appreciated about Chris Milks Ted Talk was how he expanded upon the idea of film. he describes it as "the same now as it was then." But what Chris wanted to do was to use technology was to make stories that couldn't be made with current techniques. Each time he presents a new piece, people seem to have stronger and stronger emotional responses to it. I think this speaks to how powerful immersion is. The more immersive the piece is, the more invested the user becomes. I think this is what his goal was with the last project when he did clouds over Sidra. It was incredibly moving to see her entire environment. It was as real as it could be. He could have made a documentary on Sidra, but often times those can become movie-like. This project was the opposite of that. "You are sitting there with her... and because of that you feel her humanity in a deeper way." I think this piece captured that idea beautifully. It captures her world in such a way that e
