Story:Web : Co-authoring Immersive Climate Change Stories using Museums as Big Data

Story:Web is a concept that reconceptualises museum collections as big data, and makes them available as a resource for members of the public and heritage professionals to co-author stories about complex topics such as climate change. Creative commons sounds and images provide a complementary means to understand such topics at an emotive, multisensory, and personal level. Story:Web is also currently a web-based interactive demonstration, and expresses possibilities for the use of cultural heritage, digital technology, and creative media to stimulate thought and action on climate change.
