I'm thrilled to share a new creative writing course that will help you explore your creativity with writing designed for digital media publication.
Think about the stories you'd like to tell, the experiences you'd want to communicate poetically. Now think about how they might be expressed in a lyric video, or an 8-bit video game that runs in your browser. Maybe there's a character you'd like to create as a bot and publish it in a social media network so it can post and respond to interactions. Can't decide what direction to choose in a story, how about exploring both in a hypertext work with multiple endings? Explore artistic interventions in social media networks, and start building audiences for your work.
Can't visualize it? See some of my creative work or my Introduction to Digital Literature course, which have examples of the kinds of digital creative writing we'd be exploring.
M,W 2:00-3:15 pm, in person

This course counts as part of the AI Humanities Minor, and will help you develop your AI Literacy skills. FWIW, we will not be using AI to generate creative writing. Instead, we will use AI to generate code that will help your creative writing engage with the capabilities offered by digital media environments.
