Fiche simple

Ghosts of Industry est une oeuvre hypermédiatique qui permet d'explorer l'histoire du site isolé de Bitumount, situé dans les forêts du nord de l'Alberta. Il s'agit d'un site de sables bitumineux. L'oeuvre, à partir de cinq courts poèmes qui contiennent des hyperliens, invite l'internaute à faire une expérience hypermédiatique au cours de laquelle il apprendra l'histoire de ce lieu méconnu. Les poèmes sont accompagnés d'images, d'animations et d'ambiances sonores.

Discours (notes)

«Ghosts of Industry is a fully functional web-based prototype designed as an open-curriculum learning tool for grades 9-12. It is also a stand-alone documentary about the provincially designated historical site of Bitumount in northern Alberta.

Ghosts of Industry experiments with experiential narrative. Through a combination of emotive photography, soundscapes, and graphic design, the website situates its audience at Bitumount creating an intimate sense of space and place. The audience is carried though the experience by five central poems that introduce spatial themes and encourage Socratic imagination and curiosity. The poems also serve as the navigation interfaces taking the audience from section to section and opening exploratory experiences.

Ghosts of Industry moves beyond traditional documentary narrative by focusing on exploration rather than a writerly experience. The story of Bitumount is told through its artefacts and archival materials. The audience discovers these artefacts in their raw form as they move through Ghosts of Industry. These are left uninterpreted and form narrative puzzle pieces. The result is a truly immersive and subjective experience defined by each audience member's independent interaction with the site. The story of Bitumount is not told, rather it is built through each visit.» (http://www.ghostsofindustry.com/html/announce.html)
