WALLPAPER: Hope, Fear, and Digital Fiction Launch Event
Thursday 17th November @ 4.00-6pm
The Art House, Drury Lane Wakefield WF1 2TE
You are warmly invited to attend the launch of WALLPAPER, an immersive digital fiction work exhibited as a large scale projection and Virtual Reality experience. As the reader/player of WALLPAPER, your task is to explore the house as PJ Sanders and your goal is to find the missing key to the parlour, a room locked until now. By moving through the house and examining forgotten heirlooms and personal artefacts, you slowly reveal the story of PJ and a family history of unfulfilled hopes and hidden fears. Enjoy the immersive digital experience and meet the team behind this pioneering project: Andy Campbell and Judi Alston (Dreaming Methods – One to One Development Trust), and Dr Alice Bell and Dr Isabelle van der Bom (Sheffield Hallam University).

Organiser "Reading Digital Fiction" project at SHU
Organiser of WALLPAPER: Hope, Fear, and Digital Fiction Launch Event
The Reading Digital Fiction project has two core aims. Primarily, as keen readers of digital fiction, we want to introduce more readers to digital fiction. To achieve that aim, we are organising various public events including workshops, exhibitions, and writing competitions to introduce people to this exciting new form of literature. Secondly, as cognitive stylisticians, we are interested in how readers process particular linguistic and multimodal features within digital fiction. We are therefore running several reader-response studies, collecting data from readers in order to understand how digital literary reading works cognitively.
