Digital Nature: the Case Collection version 2.0

The flood threatened to destroy everything… The water damage was extensive… But when the workmen began to clear the debris, it became apparent that not all was lost… The flood had rescue from obscurity… Two diaries An illustrated children’s book A journalist’s sound recording And other artefacts from a naturalist’s secret collection

Notes

"Digital Nature: the Case Collection version 2.0 is a net-based story-space that transforms an on-line library catalogue into an experimental narrative environment. The project consists of a database of digital objects(narrative objects) from a fictional 1910 natural history expedition and software package that allows users to search, sequence, view, comment, and make connections between objects according to a set of rules in real-time. In short, this project can be thought of as a real-time anthropological artifact generator and narrative engine, which exploits the popular forms of information culture—the on-line library interface and non-hierarchical database- for their context generating potential." http://blogs.nyu.edu/projects/materialworld/good_links/
