1) The document discusses spatial storytelling in hybrid ecosystems, where stories emerge from interactions between autonomous agents as they perceive and follow different narrative attractors or prototypes in space. 2) An experiment had participants take photos in city spaces, tagging places with personal perspectives, and the collective narrative was distributed across locations online. Participants noticed each other's narratives through connections and tags. 3) Some swarming or collaborative actions occurred as participants were drawn to perceived story attractors and contributed to emerging shared stories, though enacting narratives with geographical places was less common than emotional interactions.
Spatialstorytelling
- 1. Spa$al storytelling in hybrid ecosystems Kai Pata Tallinn University, Center for Educa$onal Technology
- 2. What is a story? • If we say Story we usually think of the common conceptualiza$on of sequen$al narra$ves as representa$ons created by authors. • What if we look at stories and narra$ve prac$ces in spa$al terms?
- 4. Hybrid ecosystem • Ecosystems are dynamic, emergent and responsive. • Ecosystems allow diversity and heterogeneity of members who interact. • In ecosystems autonomous self‐direc$ng agents adapt themselves to the ecosystem causing self‐organiza$on, and they co‐adapt as a result of mutual interac$on.
- 5. We narrate ourselves into the world We no$ce different perspec$ves
- 6. We are hybrid beings • We may well describe ourselves as hybrid beings extending ourselves to the world through narra$ve ac$ons in order to mediate our interac$ons with the world. • Place is a temporary extension of ourselves in the moment of our interac$on with the world. • Place is a self‐hybridiza$on with the World as part of eco‐cogni$ve chance‐seeking.
- 8. Spa$al storytelling • Spa$ally we can look at places as n‐ dimensional meaning‐, ac$on‐ and geospaces. Embedding feelings to places
- 9. “Narra$ve ecology” experiment • Within one month each par$cipant took pictures in the city space, signifying places as personal perspec$ves. • The final story was distributed across different soPware loca$ons, geographical and meaning‐ places. • Each par$cipant became aware of these emergent narra$ves through the friendfeed connec$ons and mashed tag channels.

- 12. Humans as ants in hybrid ecosystem – narra$ve swarming • Space with dynamically embedded meanings (eg. spoken narra$ves, movement) entails ac$on poten$als. • The spa$al view to storytelling focuses on the places in conceptual space that serve as a^ractors for community’s s$gmergic ac$on.

- 15. Poten$al of spa$al storytelling • The experimental results indicated that enac$on with the geographical dimensions of narrated places was less frequent than could be expected. Places are powerful triggers
- 16. Places evoke personal stories Day two Day one Day three
- 18. Interac$ons with places • People rather interact with the emo$onal dimensions of the places in hybrid ecosystem. • But emo$onal dimensions cannot be mapped yet while we interact with geographical loca$ons. • Interac$on in geographical loca$ons is rare because the density of accumulated contents is low.
