NEW ADDITION to the schedule:
// November 3rd, 2009 // news
We're excited to announce a new addition to the evening's schedule. FIRESIDE: The Art and Craft of the ARG ARGs offer an interesting extension to a storytelling experience. The real-time web and the connectedness of a variety of devices in one's life become a jumping off point for game-play. Steve Peters (No Mimes Media) and Jan Libby (Sammeeeees, LG15, Eldritch Errors) two pratictionars and experience designers of Alternate Realtiy Games sit down for a candid conversation about the art and craft of designing, scaling and producing ARGs. Where do you start? How do you pace the experience? And how do you know if an ARG is the right extension for your storytelling process? SPECIAL NOTE: Space is limited and we're nearing capacity. So make sure to register soon.Leave a Reply

WHAT IS DIY DAYS?
DIY DAYS - fund :: create :: distribute :: sustain
How do we sustain ourselves as storytellers in this day of shifting distribution systems? How do we monetize our work and get the word out? Presented by WorkBook Project - DIY DAYS aims to answer these questions with a day of panels, roundtable discussions and workshops: A look at how to fund, create, and distribute and sustain.
TARGET AUDIENCE Anyone wanting to make creative work - film, music, games, art. Self-identified Independent storytellers, Creatives and Tech-philes.
THE EVENT The day flows through a mix of both structured and free form activities to encourage open discussion and the opportunity to break into groups and get everyone talking to each other.
Proposed Discussion Topics - New Forms of Storytelling - New models of Finance, Production and Distribution - Audience Building & The Audience Becoming Collaborators - War Stories: “What’s The Real Deal?” - Self-Sustaining: what to know when trying to make a living from your art - Case Studies
Open Discussion Topics - What are you working on? What are you looking for? - How do you consume your media? - What needs to change in order for you to sustain?
