Creative Expressions in the Digital World
November 9-10
Through word processors and electronic devices, digitality has sneaked its way into the world of creative expressions. Unparalleled access to technology, and the internet in particular, has propelled digitalization of literature, theatre, cinema, art, music or any creative enterprise for that matter. Creativity is no longer hampered by static letters or images, but is encouraged to emerge anew by using text, moving images with 3-D effects and sounds. While this has opened possibilities of new forms of storytelling, the digital era has come to curtail the imagination of the audience that was a part of the process of story-telling and in co-creating an environment for it.
Despite multimedia story-telling possibilities, writers, editors and publishers have often expressed discomfort with the digital medium. Some have lamented that ushering in the digital era spells trouble for the world of literature. Literary practices in this age are mired in the dilemma of an entirely novel dimension. With the barrier between the classical and the popular thinning out and the notion of canonical texts challenged by the emergence of a multiplicity of perspectives, the digital space is creating literary practices of the new age.
All events will be held at ­­Dr T M A Pai Halls, Manipal. We hope you will be able to visit us and be a part of this distinct journey as we delve into the impact of the digital world on the creative arts.
