VillageLive
In the spring of 2017, NYC Media Lab presented the A+E Networks Digital Media Storytelling Fellowship in collaboration with A+E Networks’ Digital Media team. A+E Networks partnered with graduate students to create compelling visualizations of historical narratives and information. Four projects were developed throughout the fellowship, including technologies such as Web VR, immersive audio, chatbots and browser-based storytelling. The experiences have been published online by HISTORY, and is available here: http://www.history.com/fellowship

VillageLIVE celebrates queer community in the ways that it shapes and is shaped by public space in New York City. Using Nelson Sullivan’s video archive to design an augmented reality walking tour, past narratives come back to life in the streets where prominent gures of the city’s queer history once ourished. Nelson’s videos provide a glimpse into the importance of public spaces to the queer community, such as the West Village, the Chelsea Piers, and Tompkins Square Park.
