Sydney based remix collective Soda_jerk are giving a seminar here at SwinburneLink to the assignment handout – if you downloaded the earlier version, please replace it with this one.
There are plenty of tutorials on the web that will show you how to use Fireworks to make animations. Here is one:

While you might not be able to produce high end kinetic typography with these – you can make stuff move (including text) so it’s an easier alternative to learning After Effects. Have fun and have a great long weekend!
And there’s remixes of movie lines in the form of kinetic typography…
Trainspotting’s Choose Life and Zoolander’s School for Children Who Can’t Read Good and a Vimeo channel
(performed at Electrofringe 2003 – Text and Technology panel by Lisa Gye)
Absolute fear would then be the first encounter of the other as other: as other than I and as other than itself. I can answer the threat of the other as other (than I) only by transforming it into another (than itself), through alternating it in my imagination, my fear, or my desire. Jacques Derrida
For those of you interested in using Fireworks to create layouts that can be exported as CSS, images and html to Dreamweaver, see http://www.entheosweb.com/fireworks/CS4/css_export.asp
Post-hypertext fiction ? Or more hype?
Authors collaborate with game designers to retell six classic stories in a project led by Penguin UK called We Tell Stories.
The words Penguin uses to describe the project are interesting:
- its “most ambitious digital writing project to date.”
- “Penguin has challenged some of its top authors to create new forms of story – designed specially for the internet.”
- “creating tales that take full advantage of the immediacy, connectivity and interactivity that is now possible.”
- “These stories could not have been written 200, 20 or even 2 years ago.”
What do you think?
And if you’re wondering about Penguin’s choice of using game designers for the project, listen to episode 108 of CBC’s tech show Spark. It interviews game design gurus Jesse Schell and Kevin Kell, with Jesse Schell predicting the “gameification” of much more of our lives, including education (!?).
I’m looking for a couple of eager students with html experience to help me to update media artist Stelarc’s website. This might be a good project for someone intending to get more experience in web design or as a media project which would commence now but be completed in Semester 2. Contact me by email asap lgye@swin.edu.au if you are interested.
We now have a few new numbers for the list 108.html, 109.html and 110.html – and anxious students who think they won’t be linked to, so do you best to help them out if you can.
If you haven’t already checked to make sure you are on the list, then don’t forget to do it! If you are not, then email me and I will assign you a number.
