Creative Gallery

Some of the examples of creative galleries have been very interesting, such as the rhyming Twitter statuses, the Google maps of Twilight and Sims, and even the collaborative video of people doing graffiti on one single object. I guess, in thinking of these examples, the creative gallery is simply more of an extension of the essay/project.

I'm honestly not sure at the moment what I would be able to do creatively with my project other than what I already did with the Quicktime videos earlier in the semester. I guess one idea that would be interesting would be to publish my essay on the Kindle, but if I did that it seems as though I would need to do something more, something to also have an actual creative aspect to the creative gallery. One thing about publishing the essay, although it is free, it still does not seem as though Amazon would publish anything and everything. I guess one idea could possibly be to somehow get pictures of people reading a book on different electronic readers and actual books as well. The only thing about that option is that it might be difficult to accomplish.

Thinking again about the different possibilities for my creative gallery, I've come up with another idea. I was thinking that I might be able to kind of extend my project by simply exploring the history of the written word. In order to do this, I think the Google Maps narrative is the perfect idea. I would pick certain places on the Map where particular important events in the written world have taken place, such as when and where the printing press was invented.
