Experiential Storytelling with Lynette Wallworth and Marie Foulston

Innovation How can we understand an experience we have not lived through or a world that we have not inhabited? Join us as we delve into the creation of immersive worlds and how they alter the way we experience the documentary form by allowing audiences to become part of the story.

How can we understand an experience we have not lived through or a world that we have not inhabited? How does interactivity, immersion and gameplay change factual representations of the world around us and what potential does this unlock for the documentary form? Where is there potential for social aspects of immersion and gameplay to build community?

Join award-winning artist Lynette Wallworth and curator Marie Foulston as they explore the craft of interactive and immersive storytelling to create complex sensory experiences that push the documentary form and help us reimagine the world and our place in it. In this session, we delve into the immersive worlds created by Lynette and Marie and how they alter the way we experience the documentary form by allowing audiences to become part of the story.
