Unlocking creative thinking Following a prolonged pneumonia infection whose violent attacks created significant additional complications, the recovery phase gave me lots of time to think. The long period of treatment, rest, and recuperation was helped by the reading and following a History of Ideas course, from London Review Book. It... Read more →

Grabbing my hands, with the raiders storming up the stairs, Leif and Magnus gingerly lowering me out of the window, with the old world ending. Capturing Gyda and dragging away, torching the wooden house cremating the interned bodies. These are the worst scene from the nightmares haunting my early life. May I never experience the miasma from hells infernos of the Read more →

These are the worst scene from the nightmares haunting my early life. May I never experience the miasma from hells infernos of the burning stench of human flesh and panicking, baying animals escaping flaming barns. Stumbling along a forest path with night birds guiding and flanking our paths to safety, a parliament of tawny owls scouting the escape route. Bats sonic screeching helping by spotting hazards and trees. A chorus of pigeons herding the fleeing refugees. Read more →

And how can we as an audience or viewer apply these to our own personal lives? The story and audio content will be added and supported by multimedia, photography, videos, visual images, sound effects. And what we hope to do is develop and produce a range of multimedia new stories in a genre of Homer, Greek literature, and the biblical tales. The object is to produce about seven short episodes, each of about two or three minutes long as a free online interactive story. Read more →

What did the hero learn? What can we learn personally from the story? And how do we use the same personal strength when we overcome obstacles in our own lives?

The main characters in these stories have each got their own personality traits. Their names are Asta, Gidea, Leif, and Magnusson. And the story develops around these people and in the context of a very different time in history. Read more →

The process becomes stronger when reading this with new media aloud and designing echoing patterns that reflect the characters. What I try and do to is create strong contrasts between good and evil and carefully select words to make people think about powerful feelings. This is the strength of poetry.  What happens if we can condense language into a simple storytelling media and add it to online interactive media? It becomes very powerful and is the guiding beacon for this experimental media. This type of prose poem becomes a prophetic witness to the modern way of life that has become violently surreal. A prose poem tends to grow the image over the narrative. Read more →
