Navigating the Narrative in Space: Gender and Spatiality in Virtual Worlds

Abstract

Technology allows us an alternate space within which we can invent unique methods of telling stories, forming identities, and remembering. As a media maker, I value the ability to use digital tools and to work comfortably within computer-generated spaces. I can combine tools, images, and multiple voices to create three-dimensional computer worlds.
