Digital Storytelling
By Springwise
It seems a fair statement to say that the art of storytelling has not yet caught up with the internet's capabilities, at least not in the mainstream. A new project from UK-based Penguin Books' digital fiction group, however, is using the power of the internet to tell stories in new and surprising ways. In mid-March Penguin—along with alternative reality gaming firm Six to Start—launched the We Tell Stories initiative through which consumers can enjoy six digital novels by six different authors over the course of six weeks for free.

Skate or Die!The intermediate results are in and it's looking grim for the skatekids of Masterfile City. The vote is overwhelmingly in favour of losing the halfpipe for good. Are we loving the giant new projector? Or is it just that skateboarding is so over? Cast your vote today by entering the city and clicking on the protesters. Will you save the skatekids playground...or will you force them to grow up and get jobs?

Featured Artist at the MuseumThis week we feature the work of Canadian based photographer Mark Peter Drolet. His graphic images of people and environments are inspired by the narrative quality of cinema, and one is invited to conjure up the stories being revealed with his camera. Take a look and let your imagination do the rest.
