(dis)LOCATIONS Book & DVD-ROM

Curator and Editor - Dennis Del Favero and Jeffrey Shaw

This is the first DVD-ROM in the ZKM Digital Arts Edition, published by ZKM and the Centre for Interactive Cinema, presenting new works by Australian and European artists. The individual works address the specific challenges of interactive narrative conception and design.

The works in (dis)LOCATIONS explore a multi-dimensional concept of narrative. This dynamic form of narrative is profoundly dialogic in character. Mikhail Baktin's concept of the dialogic illustrates how fictional characters, for example, those in Dostoyevsky's novels, are able to speak without subjection to the single authorial control of their creator. Baktin terms this a 'genuine polyphony'. The arrival of digital systems permits this polyphony to be an emergent property generated by the viewers' interaction with the author's narration.
