Hi, Daniel Jackson is doing a free workshop (on Zoom) where you'll learn the basics of Twine and make a personal interactive text-based experience.
It's on Saturday, August 22nd at 6:00pm Pacific Time and will last one hour.
[[Tell me more ->Workshop Info]]
[[I don't even need any info, sign me up!->Register]]Twine is an open-source tool for telling interactive, nonlinear stories. It's flexible and relatively easy to learn! Although it was originally designed to facilitate the creation of interactive fiction, it can easily be used to make an entire world of text-based interactive experiences. Because it's free, open-source, and relatively easy to learn, Twine can be used for small, personal projects, even projects only intended for one person to see.
The thing you're looking at right now was made in Twine! You're looking at twine at this very moment.
[[Ok, who's leading the workshop?->Who is Daniel Jackson?]]
[[Awesome, let me sign up.->Register]]Daniel Jackson is an artist, educator, and designer working primarily with video, animation, performance, and interactivity. His work interrogates the possibilities that new technologies provide for creating surprising experiences that question our understanding of the world.
Daniel has taught digital media courses at the California Institute of the Arts, created digital animation and games with high school students in SAY Sí’s HIVE new media program, and taught programming to elementary and middle school students with the Museum of the Moving Image in New York. He also spent four years as the Education/Artistic Associate at Jump-Start Performance Co. in San Antonio, Texas.
Daniel received his MFA in Interactive Media for Performance and Integrated Media from the California Institute for the Arts in 2015.
[[Ok, what is Twine?->What is Twine?]]
[[I'm sold! Take me to the registration form!->Register]]A lot of us are cooped up or quarantined and unable to see our friends and loved ones in person. We’ve Zoomed with grandparents, emailed our cousins, and made one billion phone calls. You can do all of those things again (and you probably should!) but maybe you should mix it up and send them a custom-made interactive text-based activity adventure instead.
In this workshop we'll focus on learning the basics of interactivity in Twine, and think about making a digital, interactive experience meant for a specific audience of one. We'll also learn to use text on a screen as a catalyst and inspiration for interaction with the real, physical world.
You'll finish the workshop with an interactive, personalized activity for someone in your life.
This workshop is suitable for folks of any age with some computer knowledge and a desire to make text-based interactive projects.
It's on Saturday, August 22nd at 6:00pm Pacific Time, and will last one hour.
This workshop is a part of final presentation for Teaching as Art Online at School for Poetic Computation, Spring/Summer 2020.
