Daily interaction with screens is unavoidable as they integrate themselves into how we interact with our surroundings and our fictional and real stories. While screens can distort and manipulate reality, they can also increase engagement and understanding. The delivery and point of view determine the outcome. In the webinar, The Omnipresence of Screens: Ideal Projections, Louise Pelletier examines how different points of view negotiate the role of the image in a digital era, while Brian Greenspan explores the concept of narrative transportation through screens and the visualization of ideal spaces.

“Negotiating Digital Space in Culturally Significant Storytelling” is a cross-cultural and interdisciplinary webinar series organized by the Canadian Centre for Mindful Habitats in association with the Bachelor of Media Production and Design Program, School of Journalism, Carleton University (Ottawa) and the Bachelor of Interior Design Program, Algonquin College (Ottawa). The seven-part webinar series, supported by a SSHRC Connection Grant, runs from June 16 to July 28 and will explore the multi-faceted concept of storytelling and how digital technology is expanding on the storytelling toolkit. While digital tools bring new ways to tell stories and remove limitations of access, a multitude of ethical and technical issues arise – such as those of ownership, appropriation, inclusion, and dissemination.
