Project 1 – Digital Derive

Due in class September 11^th

Abstract
Using non-linear animation + temporal composition methods in Adobe Flash, create an interactive space grown from the experience and documentation of a physical derive. Begin the project with a derive through the city. Document your experience, syncronously or asyncronously using static 2d media (digital photography, scanned objects, scanned or digital drawings or maps). Users of your flash file should be able to navigate the digital landscape you create in a non-linear way, allowing them to experientially drift through the space.
