X&#124;&#124; Story Research
	


















We
provide research for UKRI and international research projects, as well as, for commercial
companies, community groups and NGOs. We are successful bid writers, and great
at forming research consortium for project work. At the
heart of our research is an interest in how storyworld methodologies and
practical hands-on art and design methods can be used to collect and analyse
data. We find that marginalised groups, children and communities enjoy the
chance to use the same technologies and techniques that we use in our own
design and practice. 








Research: Future Treescapes&#38;nbsp;October 2023 - November 2024 Funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council’s Future of UK Treescapes


















We designed and implemented a series of art and design-based
workshops for late primary and early secondary school children to contribute to
the development of a videogame about treescapes. The workshops were broken
down to focus on different core elements used in game design: (1) Game Worlds,
(2) Character Design and (3) &#38;nbsp;Narratives
&#38;amp; Gaming Mechanics.
In the worldbuilding workshop children were asked to work individually or
in pairs/small groups to make a physical model of a game world based on
treescapes. They were told that treescapes could mean a forest or a wood, but
it could also be those in an urban environment or a singular tree.
In the character design workshop children were asked to make a mask of a
character they would like in their treescape game world. They were then asked
to wear the mask and embody their character to show us what they would do in
the game. This linked with asking them to illustrate the gaming mechanics of
their design by drawing a series of prompts or parts of the narrative on the
school playground and then enacting the game by being the character with what
they had drawn. You can see how we used this research to develop the game here.&#38;nbsp;

Research: Future Media BroadcastingSeptember 2022 - March 2023Funded by AHRC via XR Stories, York University
 This project explored what children aged 7-11 think is the future of
broadcasting. This was achieved through a series of public engagement
activities for groups of children at the National Science and Media Museum in
Bradford. Here, we offered children the opportunity to explore their ideas
on the future of broadcast media in relation to a series of new technologies
such photogrammetry, virtual and augmented reality and proto-metaverse
platforms. 
The intention of the workshops was to seek an understanding of children's
ideas for how they would like to consume future TV content. It built on the
decline of children watching linear TV and the planned closing of CBBC in
2025/6. In relation to this, we introduced&#38;nbsp; children to a range of new
technologies and sought their ideas for other ways in which they want to
engage with TV content. There was a two-prong focus on engagement via immersion
(i.e. VR) and via interaction (e.g. proto-metaverse like mass online gaming
platforms)Aims:• To undertake public engagement activities on the topic of future media broadcast• To explore how children aged 7-11 years-old would like to consume TV content through interactive media and, or new
technologiesResearch Questions:1. What are the elements most important to 7-11-year-olds when changing TV media to interactive media?2. What are the elements most important to 7-11-year-olds when changing TV media to immersive media?3. In relations to questions 1 &#38;amp; 2: What are the similarities or differences when the content is fact or fiction?4. What aspects of consuming broadcast media through immersive media is engaging/ disengaging for children?5. What aspects of consuming broadcast media through interactive media is engaging/ disengaging for children?There are four workshops in total. Workshops 1 and 2 focused on changing Beano characters, into future
broadcasting prototypes using photogrammetry and 360-degree virtual content. Workshops 3 and 4 did the same but with regards to worldbuilding. The children's creations were scanned using photogrammetry and then turned into future media prototypes which they were in turn given a chance to feedback on. This provided insight into new workflows for the design and development of kids media using AI and Machine Learning, which in turn raised ethical issues that need to be considered by the industry. Children who consented to take part in the research were informally interviewed about what they have created and why, to collect dialogue on their
decision-making processes. They were asked for their thoughts on seeing their creation in VR/AR and Roblox.&#38;nbsp; The final project report can be downloaded here:

Immersive Experience: Holst 150

January 2024 - December 2024Funded by the Arts Council England We were one studio partner for a project led PlayLa.bZ
We developed a Roblox experience for a series of events celebrating the 150th anniversary of Gustav Holst, born 1874. The experience contained instruments for composing and playing music, as well as a peace camp to align with Holst’s call to maintain the 
















equilibrium



of the Planets.&#38;nbsp;

Game Design: Treescapes VideogameOctober 2023 - November 2024Funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council’s Future of UK Treescapes. 
We were the studio partner for a project led by the University of CumbriaBuilding on ideas collated with children (see here) we designed and developed a videogame that combined facts about planting, caring for and
enjoying trees,&#38;nbsp; with fictional treescapes. The latter were based on
climate justice narratives that children shared with us. Some of these
narratives were drawn up as comics and then embedded into the game play to be
found by players as geocache. 
The game was built in Roblox as a way of reaching as many children as possible,
with this particular platform being popular with the audience we were
trying to reach.

Virtual Theatre: Rear WindowsJanuary 2023 - November 2023
Funded by Arts Council Northern Ireland Premiered at the Belfast International Arts Festival


The aim of this project was two-pronged. First to explore the potential of everyday online interactive and immersive spaces for theatre performances, and secondly to raise critical public awareness of issues connected to Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly in relation to the arts.In addressing the first aim, we collaborated with Big Telly theatre company who presented 17 performances on Zoomduring the COVID lockdowns, and were interested in understand how gaming mechanics could be incorporated into future theatre pieces. With regards to the second aim, the script, assets, ideas and music were co-produced through a series of public engagement workshops with a focus on creating a contemporary version of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1954 thriller Rear Window that would critique AI.The final production had three acts that each used different affordances of Zoom and Mozilla Hubs.

Reviews for Rear Windows

“It was great! Bewildering (for a dyspraxic) but really smart &#38;amp; interesting.”

“Caught the last online performance of Rear Windows yesterday (a mix of theatre and film and thinking critically about generative AI, the audience playfully set loose on the interactive stage) and it was a lot of fun. Felt new and exploratory in the best possible way.”

“Rear Windows @BigTellyNI - even though my tech let me down a little with this still great to see this online theatrical event and feel you are in at the birth of a new art form. A fun and playful story - still one chance to see at 4 pm today.”

“Love to learn from theatrical practice with new digital format, as Alan said: “It’s great to see that the sector is continuing to innovate and find new ways of exploring old and new stories.”

Game Design: Future of Broadcast MediaSeptember 2022 - March 2023Funded by Arts and Humanities Research Council via XR Stories, York University


In order to disseminate the findings of the Future of Broadcast Media research to children we made a Roblox game. This also built on one of the key findings from the research which was that younger audiences hope future broadcast media will be interactive.&#38;nbsp;

We give local and international talks about all aspects of telling
stories with digital technologies. 
As invited keynote speakers globally, we
have spoken about new approaches to the use of emerging technologies in digital
storytelling, the design of inclusive frameworks and creating with ai (to name
a few). We are experienced at giving talks in person or
virtually or you could invite us to be provocateurs for your Away Day.

	Short Courses &#38;amp; Workshops
	


















We offer
workshops and short courses to a range of companies, or as visiting academics to
universities around the world. Tailor making the content to suit your needs, we
use a mixture of theory, critical engagement, and hands-on activities with no
skillset entry barriers.
Short Course: Treescapes Game Design
February- April 2024Taught for University of Plymouth Art and Design MA Suite



















MA Games Design and MA Experience Design students, as part
of a module called Situated Practice, were provided with outputs from the Future Treescapes research and to explore how their
skills could further the project outcomes. One student created a suggestion for
what the game world could look like (Shiyin Li), two worked on character
designs and modelling (Holly Cooper; Kent Anderson-Brettel) and one on audience
interaction (Brandon Barnard). The final student’s idea to create an
out-of-game treasure hunt of comics based on children’s gaming narratives was
adopted in our final design by creating digital geocache comic in the game.

Interactive Workshop:&#38;nbsp;Gipton Space AgencyJune 2023, Space 2, Gipton Leeds

This workshop focused on tech determinism through using space tourism as the context. Workshop participants were split into two teams: one focused on creating an advertising campaign to attract billionaires to travel to space, and the other protestors to the space agency.&#38;nbsp;

We introduced all participants to machine learning, text-to-image ai generators, ai comic generators and brought a whole range of physical materials.

A blog post outlining thoughts on the workshop can be read here. As well as, one on&#38;nbsp;Animating resources for intergalactic justice, which can be read here.&#38;nbsp;

Interactive Workshop: BabelJune 2023, Hackstock, Rich Mix, Shoredirch, London
Beginning with Borges’ Library of Babel that contains all books in the Universe, both coherent and nonsensical, the library is at first seen as a rich resource, however the glut of it inevitably drives humans mad, we invited participants to Hackstock to reflect on this as a metaphor for ai and to join a discussion on tech determinism while building a Tower of Babel from tech junk, sensors and LEGO.We also created ai and hand-drawn comics to act as additional prompts for workshop participants. The ai generated comics were intended to act as further provocation to the contextual narrative. This was juxtaposed to the hand-drawn comics which drew on Sheldrake’s work on fungi entanglements to create interchangeable natural and human-made communication networks to imagine alternative more-than-human futures.

Short Course: Game Design
May 2023Taught for Sphinx International Art Education
This short course looked at turning a well-known story into a
game. Taught sessions included considering the interactive elements of the story, the possible role of AI in future gaming narratives and the production of a prototype of
a game to share with the group. In doing so, students considered what
happens to narrative when it changes to include interaction. 







Short Course: StorytellingJanuary 2022Taught for Sphinx International Art Education
Stories are the fundamentals of what makes humans social beings and
thus able to transform the world around us. It is also the basis of many types
of art and design disciplines, including Communication Design, Games
Design, Product Design, Visual Communication, Animation, Contemporary Art Practice
and more. &#38;nbsp;The short course provided an introduction to all aspects of narrative design, including understanding how
to develop a narrative, explore its relationship to modes of communication (i.e.,
image, sound, audience interaction etc), materials and most importantly the
audience.
