Potential / Future Applications

 

Journalism

Through work and play with the Myriad Accounts system, I have found inspiration to pursue this mode of reading and writing via several different avenues. One potential field where it could play a strong role is journalism. I envision multiple writers (up to the hundreds) documenting an event as it unfolds – providing multiple perspectives and illumintating their similarites and differences with ease.

 

Performance

 

The critical lens these texts provide is a strength to be taken advantage of. Layered atop cultural events, performance or theater, the publishing of such texts in the performance space would create a new way of seeing for the audience. Positioning the text with a keen and critical eye alters the way in which onlookers experience live performance.

 

Fiction

 

How is the creative writer affected by the presence of live stimuli AND other writers as he / she writes? The space in which a person works is extremely instrumental in the way they make work, and yet the number of options is (currently) quite limited. By transforming the workspace, the designer may transform the work. By illuminating the presence of multiple voices, the designer may evoke a sense of camaraderie, competition or inquiry in the writers. The fluctuation of these variables may be methods in molding varied works of fiction.
