From narrative machines to practice-based research: making the case for a digital Renaissance
Keywords:
artificial intelligence, embodied mind paradigm, digital renaissance, transdisciplinarity, narrative machinesAbstract
This article provides an articulation between the theoretical and conceptual implications of the embodied mind paradigm, the specific representational attributes of digital media, and why inquiry into computer-mediated communication – particularly, narrative – can and need to be expanded both from a production and reception standpoint in the face of advances in cognitive science research.
