The World Is My Oyster - Mobility as a Challenge for Interactive Storytelling

摘要

A place is a shrine of stories and with every visit we try to understand it better. Not every visit has the same reason though. Visiting a place might mean that we wish to perform a journey into our own past by walking through those then well-known locations or landscapes from which we hope that they still provide enough triggers to stimulate the stories that bring us back in time. Visiting a place might mean to explore unknown territory either through a comparison between what we perceive with what we know or through the encounter of stories that tell us about the experiences other people had at this location some time in the past. Visiting a place might mean to re-create it through the interaction with people who populate it at the same time. In all cases the exploration is based on experiences that are infinitely personal, and shaped and filtered by emotional and cultural memories, which constantly change as we experience them over and over again.
