Intro


Hi everyone, my name is CJ and I am very excited for Digital Literature! I am from Brentwood, NH so I am very familiar with the seacoast area. I am a junior studying English/Journalism. When I got to UNH, I didn't really know what I wanted to do, but I knew that I loved music, and film, and writing. Journalism seemed like a good option for me because it combines the creative aspect of storytelling with tangible facts. This combination allows me to never get bored as I am able to work both sides of my brain at the same time! I am hoping to go into a career in broadcast journalism because I like the idea of being in the middle of the action and recording it as it happens. 


When I'm on campus and not going to class, I'll probably be in the gym, the dining hall, or rehearsing with Alabaster Blue, UNH's premier a cappella group! It's definitely been one of the best college experiences so far. Off campus I enjoy surfing, hiking, listening to and playing music. 

Thanks for reading!

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
