On Thursday I presented a paper at Digital Narratives Around the World, a colloquium organized by Astrid Ensslin and Jérémie Pelletier-Gagnon. The colloquium brought together a nice mix of papers about digital story-telling. I kept my conference notes on Philosophi.ca.
The paper I gave discussed the surveillance software Palantir as a story-telling environment. Palantir is designed not to automate intelligence work, but to augment the analyst and provide them a sandbox where they can try stories about groups of people.
