New Student Work

Students in my undergraduate Computer and Text course have completed final projects. Their assignment was to imagine an alternative ending for Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein in which the creature and his mate escape to South America (as they initially planned) and establish a presence online (as they surely didn't). The projects use various media: a literary MOO, the Web, even a blog. Some of my favorites: Michael Weaker's Flash-work in Fire of Love; Tiffany Chiou's FrankenBlog (done in MT!); Kristen Intelkofer's The Doctor is In; and Kewanna Hayward's Our Story.

Thank you very much Professor Kirschenbaum. I appreciate your complement very much...I was excited to do that project the whole semester and I enjoyed it very much. I am currently working on a visual reproduction of Luigi Pirandello's poem, "War." My idea is to try to express the poem via illustrations in a flash movie/animation. I have already made the drawings for the project - now all I have to do is scan them and animate! I'll be sure to show you first when I'm done.

Talk to you soon!
