Digital Storytelling
Digital Storytelling was an exhibition that ran from 2 June to 15 October 2023 at the British Library and showcased eleven different born-digital works, including interactive narratives that respond to user input, reading experiences personalised by data feeds, and immersive multimedia story worlds developed through audience participation.
From thought provoking autobiographical hypertexts to data journalism, uncanny ghost stories to weather poetry, steampunk literary adaptation to quirky Elizabethan medical comedy.
It was curated by Giulia Carla Rossi, Stella Wisdom and Ian Cooke.
A collection of contextual materials created for the exhibition is available on the British Library’s Research Repository, including the gallery interpretation, press photos and artists interviews.
