— interactive narrative as a model of aesthetic transcription —

Transcriptive narrative integrates the temporal agency of narrative with the inherently multi-modality of digital information.

FISSIONS OCCUR WITHIN THE ORIGINAL DATA

rather, their meaning is revitalized into temporal, directional, and irreversible narrations, transcribing the functions such information is felt to cause and can be shown to perform.

“the dramatization of pre-existing forms”
:: Transcriptive narrative dramatizes the world instead of freezing it into schematic representations

DIGITAL ARCHITECTURE IS MULTI-MODAL
MULTI-MODAL ARTIFACTS ARE SHAPED BY SOFTWARE RATHER THAN SEMIOTIC CODES

(i want to challenge this)
(what makes up a “unit of meaning”)
?????????

In T_Visionarium — — – the beholder’s direct awareness of unfolding events is complicit in bringing the narrative to closure (but, this is also present in conventional cinema?)

T_Visionarium is ascriptive & episodic — a dramatized revivification of cultural information. subject and object become two dynamically inter-dependent durational systems.*

PERMUTATION : noun
1.
the act of permuting or permutating; alteration; transformation.
2.
Mathematics.
the act of changing the order of elements arranged in a particular order, as abc into acb, bac, etc., or of arranging a number of elements in groups made up of equal numbers of the elements in different orders, as a and b in ab and ba; a one-to-one transformation of a set with a finite number of elements.

*both objects and subjects are interactively defined by their temporal relations. “to measure the length of the shadow of a pyramid at a particular time of day, for example, is to express the interrelationship between an object in motion (sun) and an object at rest (pyramid)” … narration is intertwined which objective processes such as motion, whereby narrating becomes navigating and navigating becomes narrating.

NARRATING = NAVAGATING
NAVAGATING = NARRATING

physical mapping becomes a strategy applicable to both image and sound

there is an unravelling of “sub-visible links”

In T_Visionarium … the beholder can process new time currents in real time by physically navigating the projection window across the surface of the dome. it augments the investigator’s existing research into narrative as a form of dialogical interaction within virtual space. this provides a meta-model for transcriptive strategies & new logics for data inter-relationships.

THIS INTERWEAVING OF MATRIX AND BEHOLDER NAVIGATION W/ REAL & VIRTUAL TIME PROCESSING precipitates the emergence of unprecedented narratives
