The paper proposal for “The Participatory Off-screen: Spatial Perception and Suture in Interactive Soap KateModern” has been accepted at the ChART conference “Seeing.. Vision and Perception in Digital Culture”, so you will see me there, Birbeck, University of London, November 6-7, here is an overview of the program.
The subject of this paper is very dear to me, because it was (almost) the subject of my MA thesis on Imax filmmaking, and it brings me back to my film theory studies, some, ehm, years ago.
The goal is actually to apply a very special adaptation of film theory to explain the spectator’s place and the reception strategies enacted in transmedia storytelling, in this case KateModern, although I was thinking mostly of Lonelygirl15 and other more openly transmedial projects, although you could argue that a soap on a web site which you comment to on another website and which you can access through your cell phone is transmedial enough.
