4. 7th ART form...
Ars, artis (latin)
A technical knowledge, ability to create
a form, a human activity that is
arranging several forms together
addressing the human senses, emotion
and intellect.
This concept of 'Artis' varies upon
geographic and historical elements
For ethnologist Marcel MAUSS the
object of ART is defined according to the
its recognition by a group.
Practises, creation, content, can be
classified differently according to the
creators, the cultures and institutions.
Salvatore DALI "Le Bâteau" The Boat 1934-1935

5. Beyond the 4th Wall & the 3 Units
 2500 ans de théâtre
 Point de vue de l'audience qui observe une action se déroulant dans
l'univers du récit, pas d'interaction, mais une perception active ( Cf. Denis
Diderot 18ème siècle et le Théâtre Réaliste)
 Unités du théâtre classique du 17ème siècle (série de règles), rendre
l'ensemble plus crédible, recherche de "vérité"...
 Unité de TEMPS (déroulé en 24 heures)
 Unité de LIEU
 Unité d'ACTION (action principale avec intrigues secondaires)
 Au 21ème siècle quel est l'élément performatif innovant ?
 Renverser les modèles, transcender la narration, aller au delà du 4ème
mur, intégrer toute innovation, "Hacker" les récits et histoires...

22. NO definitedefinition
Jeff Gomez
The art of conveying messages themes or storylines to mass audiences through the artful and
well planned use of multiple media platforms"
Multi-Dimensional Storytelling
Henry Jenkins
A transmedia story unfolds across multiple media platforms with each new text making a
distinctive and valuable contribution to the whole.
...In the ideal form of transmedia storytelling, each medium does what it does best...
... storytelling across multiple forms of media with each element making distinctive
contributions to a fan's understanding of the story world.
Alison Norrington
Transmedia storytelling is the successful organic flow of narrative over a host of platforms, each
one excelling at what it does best
... the complex approach to telling a story over multiple platforms (both on and offline)... There
are a host of elements to consider that reach far beyond traditional, linear storytelling.

23. Transcending media
Storyline is the key for nonlinear narrative
Watchmen comic book – graphic novel
The game 'The End is Nigh' serves as a
prequel to the movie 'Watchmen'
The Characters in the movie reflect on
events that you get to play in this video game
Story wise the movie and game are
enhancing or complementing each other
-> The whole should be bigger than the sum
of its parts
