Inanimate Alice







Inanimate Alice is a website that takes a look at how people employ the technology of the web, how the “reader” is made into an active participant, and whether these texts “transfer” from the screen to the page. With the current advent of future publication processes and the release of the iPad I though it would be interesting to look at these new innovations from a different perspective.

The website itself is dedicated to being a platform for storytelling. Written by authors Kate Pullinger and Chris Joseph, the narrative revolves around a girl growing up in the twenty-first century, inundated with technology and the ways of the modern world. It is how the narrative is told that makes it special. Text, sounds and images all come together to create a truly unique interactive and innovative experience as the story’s protagonist Alice begins her journey from adolescence to adulthood.
