Hi everyone! My name is Ava Garcia and I am currently a Junior majoring in Text, Business Writing and Digital Studies with a minor in Nutrition! I originally came into UNH as a nutrition major but after two years I realized it wasn't something I wanted to spend my life doing. I have always had a very creative mind and have loved art, reading and writing so I took a risk and switched into English this year and I have absolutely loved it so far. 


I am originally from Dartmouth MA which is a pretty small town right on the water! I loved growing up here and getting to spend so much time outside, especially in the summer. My home is a two minute walk from the beach so I love being able to walk right down to the ocean anytime I’m home. 


When I’m not in school I’m usually outside, spending time with my friends, at the gym, or reading. While I have always been a romance novel junkie, switching to English this past year has allowed me to open my eyes to a variety of new genres which I am very thankful for and have loved reading so far!


I am looking forward to learning more about digital literature this semester and to getting to know everyone better!

    So nice to meet you, Ava! What a beautiful beach to grow up near! My summer beach reads were Taylor Jenkins Reid books, have you read her? So fun!

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
