Resilience weaving loom interface, made a various conceptual threads
Interaction and weaving of unique micro-documentaries
Interface as Metaphor
Resilience is an interactive documentary about community resilience in the face of drought and climate change. The web interface was designed using the metaphor of a weaving loom, which weaves together short video clips into unique 5-minute stories. Each short film documents two small communities in the Andes organizing to restore their local high mountain watersheds. The story of how this interactive storytelling system was designed is below.

media systems/ ecological systems, do they have anything in common?
This project came from a desire to explore complex living systems with multimedia. It was designed based on the principles complex systems: connectivity, nonlinearity, uncertainty, emergence (the whole is more than a sum of its parts), scale, self-organization, and feedback loops. The documentary script behind this design, was literally a woven story fabric that has similar narratives organized along “conceptual threads” on the x and y axis of the storytelling interface.
