Assignment 2 – Fiction & Non- Fiction Project
Non- Fiction Project
Some artworks that had disappeared, destroyed, stolen, discarded, rejected, erased, ephemera, this project used the Internet to create a digital exhibition of artworks that could never appear in the physical space of a museum. They explored the project as three part, the artworks, the text and the film, parts remain as parts.People can interact those work, easily common and share. The interesting part I think is that each part of this project is individual, however, if we see it as a whole when it comes together, it likes a large- scale project through the individual artist. The characteristic I found about this online screen media is interactive and non-fiction. And also the way they produce new media project (digital photos, films) are converted from the forms of old media (painting, drawing).
Thus, related to our second project, I want to explore do an online media that already exist there, but I do need to actually go to that place and do the media, I want to make a media project more globally.
(I find a second non-fiction online media project, I really like this one, and I feel though it may not helps me about my second assessment, but it gives me an idea about what does an online media work do.)
This fully illuminates the history of a censorship state, storytellers must show at least two sides: the view from inside the state and outside its walls. SBS Australia has taken advantage of digital storytelling to unearth the kaleidoscopic perspectives surrounding the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. The creator used multiple choice as a way to lead us to think about the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989. As I am a Chinese, I know this event is still limit to discuss in China. So, my focus point to this project is it uses online media as a platform to criticize an issue and using multiple choice as a way to let the audiences see the two sides of one event. The characteristic of this project is interactive, illegal to talk it in China, and also make me had a big scope of thoughts. Although we can’t do common about this event we can use different perspective to look at the project. The creator also gives me a evidence for each choice that I made.I think this project is a really good example for me to understand what does making online screen media in a way offer me as a media practitioner.
Hence, this project helps me to think that even I am making a small-scale online media, I realized that I want my audiences can learn and interact something from my project, not just for fun, but also can in some way help them to think.

Fiction Project
This is a little lovely game where every letter is hyperlinked to other passages. Each passage is a single sentence fragment describing a thing. The individual letter idea relates to the principle of new media, modularity, and variability. Different people will have a different vision, it isn’t related as a whole, it is scalability. It allows for several places of this project function together efficiently yet separate as well. And the distribution of this game is “I hope that this list will never be finished”. So we can see each word individually but if we continue to click the letter to next sentence, it makes as a whole. On the other hand, we can see modularity of the new media may fail, because see it’s going better when I see it as a whole.
This project helps me that even each part of my work is individual, but I can also make a connection between parts.
