Introduction - Sky Rousseau

Hi everyone! My name is Sky Rousseau and I’m currently a junior. I’m majoring in english/journalism and minoring in communication, and I’m very excited to be taking my writing to digital platforms, as well as expanding my knowledge and creativity in new ways with the software we will use for this class. Reading and writing have always been some of my biggest hobbies, as well as snowboarding, yoga, thrifting, and spending time with my friends. My annual dinner dates and movie nights with my roommates are often the highlight of my week when I’m at school. Below are some pictures of them! I’m looking forward to meeting everyone and learning all about digital literature!

    Snowboarding and thrifting are so much fun! I'm a little better at skiing, but controlling speed and turns with snowboarding is a lot easier. Maybe I'll run into you at Topanga downtown, I love thrifting there :)

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
