Stories We Know — Stories We Tell explores the dynamic relationship
between the stories we consume and those we create. How do they
shape identity and reflect human connection? This project wxamines
storytelling’s function, form, and impact, investigating how stories serve
as both a mirror of lived experience and a bridge between individuals
and communities.
Stories We Know explores how the stories we read, watch, or experience
influence personal and communal identity. It analyzes how medium
affects engagement: How does reading, watching, or interacting with a
digital narrative shape perception? How does interactivity shape
emotional connections? This section examines how storytelling traditions
evolve across culture, history, and technology.
Stories We Tell shifts from analysis to creation, using discoveries to
inform my own storytelling experiments. Audience participation plays a
key role, allowing viewers to control how much of a story they receive
and encourages personal interpretation.
Through interactive design and visual storytelling, I explore the evolving
form of stories, from posters that visualize storytelling as a living entity
to interactive websites that challenge traditional narratives. This project
will further evolve through research, iteration, and experimentation.
Stories shape us and connect us. Through Stories We Know — Stories
We Tell, I aim to uncover how the narratives we consume and create
define both individual and collective identity, demonstrating that
storytelling is not only a reflection of our lives, but also a thread that
binds us together.
