So the question is"why not linear?”

The work is divided into two but united through the interactive navigation.

Resolving the issue how to tell the story of opposing narratives.

Modes of representation show the attitude of the director in relation to the world: Rhetorical

Poetic

Reflective

Interactive

Observational

A navigational mode allows us to understand a different reality by creating a non-linear, multi-modal deployment :

Temporal – time based. Spatial – space based. Symbolic and Narrative branching forms of

interactivity.

These modalities can be combined to create different perspectives making the

viewing paths infinite.

Questions:Who are the participants in an i-doc. Are they the

offline community living and being documented or are they the users/readers of i-doc online?

How do i-docs pose risks for the subjects when we invite online audience critique?

Can interactive media solve the problem of authorship? Does the role of creator have authorship and authority over a user/reader?

Questions:I-docs have many forms of collaboration – many

users, multiple authors. How do we maintain a common theme and ensure an authoritative voice? Guiding the discussion – understanding how to direct the collaboration.

How does the structure of the interface work against or towards the media displayed?

How can we get away without the plot?
