Doreen: from Caroline Abram collection.

NoteOfTheDay: Doreen.

One of the best surprise while going all around my city-of-the-moment: Florence.

After the most popular opticians in the center of the city, here you are the place that appears as the oldest Florentine optician. But whit the newest collections I’ve seen until now.

There are the traditional, conventional, regular, always-seen classic ones pair of glasses. And there is Caroline Abram. I’m going to dedicate this post to her. Or better, to her creativity, and her funny website.

So, I saw this pair of glasses in the shop window of this optician, Foto Locchi, in Via del Corso. But I had not the intention to buy them in one shot, and I started my usual researches online. After 1 hour, I still had not find them, probably not able.

Hence, I thought…why not try to keep in touch with this glass-stylist via social networks? Caroline Abram, she should be famous.. she had different events in Paris, and maybe thanks to the powerful Facebook I can contact her, have some glues and find them..

Just 2 minutes, and here you are

…Doreen!!

Crossmedia – Stories in between: narratives and medium @ play

Does anybody know about crossmedia?

A word that started to be popular some years ago.
A word that is a mix of CROSS and MEDIA, between media, among media, from a media to another. A word you can directly link to Henry Jenkins

Here you are a little world about this word, discover it if you fancy to know more.

It’s time to mention ‘Stories in between: narratives and mediums @play‘ – a unique text exploring the interplay between stories and media. The discussion focuses around the Myst narrative as it moves across media from games to books to comics to games. Along the way, the text also discusses the Sandman comics, and the hypermedia of Ultima Online and MitterNachtSpiel.

A text that has been created hypertextually to exist online as a website with an inter-related book. A text about story-telling and video-games. A text written by Drew Davidson, the person who gave me the chance to enter this world that now is a trend.

Enjoy it!
