@UMDMAVRIC

Enjoying @UMDMAVRIC. Especially grateful to @marcruppel for his rundown of the kinds of work possible at the intersection of design, storytelling & spatial humanities. Now I’m motivated to note some of the #XR work @umd_AADHum is exploring alongside @UMD_MITH's work w/ Lakeland +

@irLhumanities

... So a #BlackDH XR project based in some of our previous @irLhumanities work like @christinwa9's Black Brooklyn/ Dare to Remember (2017) project + @awwsmith_ ’s “What's in you air" (2020) AR project, developed as a @SnapLensStudio resident.

@blkvibration

We also have @blkvibration's #BlackDH collabs on dance + VR in riversides2106.com

@christinwa9

The @christinwa9 is currently being redeveloped into a 2.0, but you can look at the first iteration here: irlhumanities.org/projects/black…

@awwsmith_

And learn more about the first iteration of the @awwsmith_ @irLhumanities #environmentalhumanities project at irlhumanities.org/projects/whats…

@irLhumanities

If you're a #BlackDH and GIS person, maybe you caught our @irLhumanities lab member and @umd_AADHum graduate assistant here!

@Afromanticist

Struck just now by this "Deep Nostalgia" tech, which algorithmically animates photos. My colleague @Afromanticist has used it with this photo of #FrederickDouglass. It is amazing. And also terrifying. My first book was about haunting as praxis in Black lifeworlds, so thoughts +

@toniasutherland

My book is about memory & loss in AfAm life, and it ends with a consideration of Beloved coupled w/ James Van Der Zee's Harlem Book of the Dead (work that structured my pivot into #BlackDH). I'm also thinking now about @toniasutherland's writing on postmortem holograms of Tupac +

I should note that while this workshop isn’t focused on pedagogy per se, we will cover strategies for working collaboratively in @twinethreads, which is the software we will be focusing on during these sessions. +

We’ll also cover some basics of organizing this kind of digital projects. On the tech side that means exploring methods for serving sound & image, plus how-to corral a variety of free-tier & open source services, and how to use Scrivener to support research or longform projects +
