Beschreibung: | Saint Caterina of Pedemonte is meant as an experiment in digital narrative. We are using words, sound, images, and an interactive interface to tell a large part of Saint Caterina’s fictional story. This project aspires to illustrate the many voices, which shape our perceptions of past events and people. In this case, we focused on mystic saints who use starvation as a way to illustrate their devotion. Saint Caterina is a conglomeration of women. Many medieval saints are used as elements of a rubric for Caterina, and their experiences give her shape and form. Caterina is neither entirely real, nor is she simply a figment of our imagination. The story of her life is comprised of the many voices that compete and compliment each other to form a cacophonous retelling of her life. The multimedia component is an attempt to answer questions regarding the nature of interactive participation itself, and its role in unveiling storytelling narration in non-linear structure, addressing the notion of “remediation ” as a way of challenging formulations of control, authority and transmission of knowledge.
