Minisode 5 - Experimenting with Digital Storytelling (with Todd Anderson and Bryan Yee)
/Resident Artist at Culture Hub and host of Word Hack, the language+technology talk series at Babycastles, Todd Anderson joins the WBI show alongside virtual/augmented reality practitioner Bryan Yee to discuss the ways in which experimental digital storytelling can provide opportunities to intervene in the political moment where protesters are in the streets demanding justice for George Floyd. What if by using the Hitchhiker Chrome plug-in developed by Todd, participants vandalized the websites of government agencies that are killing us in the streets? Is hashtag activism a way to assuage White guilt without having to take any meaningful risk and how can we use these technologies to create public space for the resistance?
