A cultural computing approach to interactive narrative: The case of the living liberia fabric

Title: A cultural computing approach to interactive narrative: The case of the living liberia fabric
Format: Conference
Publication Date: December 2010
Description: This position paper presents an approach to computational narrative based in cognitive linguistics and sociolinguistics accounts of conceptual blending, metaphor, and narrative, multimedia semantics, human-centered interface design, and digital media art practice. In particular, as a case study, we describe the Living Liberia Fabric, an AI-based interactive narrative system developed in affiliation with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of Liberia to memorialize a fourteen-year civil war. The Living Liberia Fabric project is led by Fox Harrell and executed in the Imagination, Computation, and Expression (ICE) Laboratory at Georgia Tech. The system exemplifies a cultural computing approach (grounding computing practices in a wider range of specific cultural traditions and values than those that are privileged in computer science).
