IM Fan Fiction (Interactive Screens and Cinematic Objects, Fall 2007)

Collaborators: Jeremy Rotsztain & Robert Moon

Brief: An interactive installation where participants can write their own dialog for Hollywood films.

Keywords: Cinematic, Fan Fiction, Remix, Dialog, Instant Messaging, Interaction, Character, Storytelling

IM Fan Fiction presents a unique opprotunity for fans to write their own dialog for Hollywood films. The installation puts them in a position to develop their understanding of a well-known cinematic character, like Luke Skywalker or Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, and translate it into a conversation using an interactive system that is part film subtitling machinery and part instant messaging technology. Participants work in pairs engaging one another while developing the personality of the characters.
