In the past year, I’ve been thinking a lot about ways to present information– the ways we often present it, as lectures and conversations; the ways that we have had to adapt those formats to new modalities, as asynchronous lectures and Zoom meetings; and recently, the way in which some of those formats have started to feel like preferable defaults (our Zoom work meetings, especially within my functional team, are always both delightful and productive). I’ve dabbled in writing interactive fiction/texts for both personal and professional projects. And, I’ve grown more and more frustrated with many of the lessons I had absorbed about what kind of work is worth creating.
So what does that have to do with what’s going on here?
