thx 4 the n.clusion, jim. i've been thinking about ur criterion for

fair enuff.
jim, wot wood ur dream flash wurk n.tail?

Re: [-empyre-] _Active Narrative Gathering_ 11:05am 13/06/2003
__---________________________________________
.
wot got me musing was having watched "The Animatrix" [gawd peter chung is a
demi-manga-god - remember aeon flux from liquid teev?]...9 short animaction
[yeah i can't help neologising sorry] movies which piggyback off and reveal
plot nuances/x.tensions of _Matrix Reloaded_. in 1 of the shorts, the
gaping qs of the origins/story point of the Neo-fawning-boy-child
n.countered in the _Matrix Reloaded_ movie is s.sentially answered....+
this sparked off a chain of thought centering round the idea of ANG
[_Active Narrative Gathering_]
...by ANG i'm referring 2 how some m.mergent forms of
art|n.tertainment|simulcra r interconnected via narrative threads b.yond
parent forms/individualised media constrictions..ie if u want the complete
narrative picture [ie
join-the-story-dots-campbellesqueness-hero-journey-style] that is available
when watching _MR_ u *must* watch/collude with satellite|parallel
constructions that enhance [ie offer loadings] that complete the story
jigsaw - like _Enter the Matrix_ video game + The Animatrix.
it's a bit like the easter eggs n.countered on dvds....secret hotspots that
1nce found offer additional info regarding the main feature....
this isn't a new phenomenon.....look at _Twin Peaks_ for instance [movie
series, book (The Diary of Laura Palmer], and movie]..but it seems to
becoming a more dominant pattern...look at _Donnie Darko_ [movie + website]
+ _The Blair Witch Project_ [book, movie, website]...not to mention
_AI_...........also the conversion of comics/books in2 film, games in2 film
[_The Final Fantasty_ game + film].......
its like audiences r n.couraged 2 step outside the restrictions of
mono-media absorption channels + actively seek additional narrative
components elsewhere...bit like an ANG cultural engine i guess.....
