Introduction video to Collapsus – a transmedia project

Directed by Tommy Pallotta, Collapsus is a transmedia film experience about the energy crisis. The project shows us how the world will cope with the transition from fossil fuels to alternative energy by incorporating annotated narrative (fiction), documentary footage, and interactive data visualization components. In Collapsus, YOU are inside the story. YOU make the choices about the impending energy crisis.

My first interaction with this project and the future of transmedia storytelling possibilities was actually at PICNIC 2010, late last year in Amsterdam – check out my roundup from the conference.

Hypercities

Hypercities – a collaborative research and educational platform for traveling back in time to explore the historical layers of city spaces in an interactive, hypermedia environment.

Very cool to see New York in 1609 and travel forward in time (and in city layers) as it expanded over 400 years.
