Introducing Elderware

Elderware is both a detective tale as a research project. As the founder of StoryCenter, some 30+ years after evolving the participatory media method known as Digital Storytelling into an international community of story workers, I am taking my experience into the discussion of what might story and media technology might become by the middle of this century. A mix of interviews with various experts, my own experimentation, and discussions about the way popular culture imagined aging in the age of thinking machines, I hope it'll extend my conversation to the larger community of people working in story, from oral history, creative writing, personal photography, audio and video creation as a form of inquiry and reflection, for both personal and social transformation.
