About this Event

Based on Soviet narratology, this book by Sylke Meyer offers a genealogy of spatial, user-centric story design and its current applications, situating spatial story design as medium sui generis that evolved as a counternarrative to agonal games on the one hand, and in distinction to linear narrative such as classical novels and cinema on the other hand.
