Subject/Focus
My project will focus on the way interpersonal communication has changed in format, language, medium, context, etc. I want to show this through a narrative story that follows three generations of people as they communicate with friends, family, colleagues, peers in both their personal and professional lives. In doing this I think I will touch on themes of social interaction, generational differences affecting the way people choose to communicate and the way technology has enabled such rapid communication but has detracted from the social aspect of interpersonal communication.
Treatment
The final product for this project will be a hypertext website in which the viewer will determine the path the narrative takes by clicking on text within a handwritten letter, an online chat session, or text accompanying a video or image. It will be multimodal and include text, images, video and sound.
