Sometime ago in a paper from the Media Lab Europe (WOOD, A., DAVENPORT, G., DONOVAN, B., AND STROHECKER, C. Stories for remote place: content, structure, device, trials. Archives & Museum Informatics, 2004, p. 2.) gave it a shot to defined this kind of content and experience in its point “4. Story: Experience, Structure, and Style”[Wood et al., 2004] :

“It is not easy to craft a narrative set of physically distributed fictional scenes which are to change according to a chaotic environment and are to be navigated in varied, unpredictable orders. Scene delivery must be guided by a meta-experience that provides overall coherence to the viewing of media in the space. Within a particular scene, certain features must be built-in to the narration so that every segment is guaranteed to both match audience environment and make sense given what has been heard already. These principles require three design tasks: defining an overall story experience, articulating a structure to technically enforce that experience, and developing a style to express context, theme, and plot.” [Wood et al., 2004]

This said, and we can find other frameworks that are probably as much as this, I don’t have any card up in my sleeve to come with a word/concept for the name of the “Rose” but I suspect it will be a non-linear, collaborative building-up process!

And It Already Started HERE!

The same is true with multimedia. There are a lot of projects that are not made up of a number of different media. Also, I find the term to not only be dated but also to be porous. It can mean a lot of things and does not necessarily refer to all that is implied.

I agree with you that “databasie” is a term that should not see the light of day (maybe it can see the dark of night?). But, what are the reservations about database? How are these projects not “about databases”?

The search is still on.
