Notes from Danielle Nicole DeVoss’s Opening Keynote at NWP’s “Digital Is…”
November 18, 2009Troy Hicks No Comments »Danielle Nicole DeVoss asks us to think about what digital was then and is now…
Digital is…
- Networked — we compose in networked spaces
- Collaborative — people are able to connect and create through these networks (LolCats)
- Multimodal — typography, kinetic type, digital stories
- Re-Mediated — taking a media object and recreating it so it moves across media; moving across text to audio to video (StarzBunnies)
- Remixed — taking bits and pieces and parts of other media to create new messages and meaning
- Policed — digital millennium copyright act; You Tube copyright issues (Fair Use)
- (Requires) Critical thinking — because of the visuals (Harry Potter, Redbook)
- (Can be) Democratic — Iran and Twitter, YouTube Debates
Writing is Digital — this is, as Elyse put it, our moment.
