'Where is Our Transmedia Mozart?' MIT Convergence Culture Consortium

via convergenceculture.org

Alex Leavitt has a very interesting post on 'Where is Our Transmedia Mozart?' working through some interesting graphing of the transmedia landscape. I'm not sure I view 'influence' as a solely commercially oriented phenomenom, as influence also seems to be fundamental to community building and fan convergence. I might be quibbling though

Hi Alex,

thanks for a very thoughtful post that I very much agree with. One question - are you defining 'influence' as a largely commercial phenomenon? I might want to push back on that...

I would also add artists as likely producers of truly rich, layered transmedia content. This may mean that we see smaller scale projects that are not produced at the level of studio/network productions, but that are stretching and innovating in terms of how stories can be told & played with, and extended - by fans & core creators. I intentionally use the category 'artist' broadly, as I think we're going to see artists from all media shifting into exploring the potential of the web & digital media
