Cinder Cone DL, CA

During the summer of 2013, the shoreline of Saint Lawrence Island was surveyed as part of the Alaska ShoreZone coastal inventory. Thousands of aerial images and about 12 hours of video imagery were collected, covering almost 1000 km of the Island's shoreline. The island is home to nearly 2,000 Siberian Yupik people and is closer to Russia than it is to mainland Alaska. Mary Morris was part of the survey crew that was welcomed by the people in the village of Savoonga; where, for a week in July, they were the town novelty as they came with their own little helicopter (a rare sight on the island as it's over 100 km offshore). Many traces of the old habitations are visible on the treeless coastal tundra, and the island has miles of long sandy beaches with cuspate recurve spits, fresh-looking volcanic cinder cones and millions of nesting seabirds. One colony on a tumbled scree boulder slope is a short walk from town. Mary will show examples of the spectacular coastline features and give a glimpse of her observations of the natural history landscape of this unique place.

Analyzing how video games like Dark Souls, Fallout, Bloodborne, Pathologic radically alter the way we tell stories, as compared to previous storytelling styles and methods.

The video essay dives into games as an active narrative art, compared to passive narrative arts like books, music, tv shows, movies, and plays. Through multiple sections, the essay addresses a variety of aspects of storytelling in video games: world-building, lore, gameplay, etc. It does this through Dark Souls III, Bloodborne, Pathologic, Fallout 4, Fallout: New Vegas, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Pac Man, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands, Tom Clancy's The Division, and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. It juxtaposes these games with Lord of the Rings, Hamlet, and Game of Thrones in order to highlight how elements of the games enable stories to be told in ways they never could have been before.

As we were watching for, the increase has now taken place. Unfortunately, it would appear we are about to take the next step up yet again, and go up by ANOTHER FULL MAGNITUDE from where we are now (across the board planet wide!).
