Hello, my name is Emmy and I’m a Computer Science major and Digital Arts and Humanities minor contributing to the Spring 2023 iteration of this course. I am originally from Davidson, North Carolina (which is far warmer than Northfield and a bit less flat). Outside of my academic interests, I work in the theater and Kracum Performance Hall doing AV work, draw both traditionally and digitally, and play video games (the most relevant to this project being Disco Elysium<\/em><\/a>, a game which has one of the most realistic and compelling depictions of place I have ever experienced, particularly due to a certain mechanic in the game known as “Shivers”, which speaks to the player from the perspective of the city and the world itself).<\/p>\n\n\n

Most of my work within the Digital Arts and Humanities minor<\/a> has sought to answer the questions of how the mediums in which stories are told impact the stories and even become part of them. While answering this question, I have worked with the mapping tool ArcGIS a few times, and am looking forward to learning more about the unique qualifications of maps as a form of storytelling and doing some of that storytelling myself. I am also thinking a lot about how fictional world-building and storytelling can benefit from an understanding of deep mapping and what makes a place feel “alive” and “real”, which is often drawn from more personal stories and the details that only come from experiencing a place first hand rather than the sort of “objective” histories found in textbooks. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
