In an afternoon session at HASTAC II, a panel comprised of Lev Manovich, Noah Wardrip-Fruin, Anne Helmond, Nick Montfort, Tristan Thielmann, and Jeremy Douglass discussed different aspects of the emerging field of software studies. By looking at everything from blogging to Google Maps software, the panelists argued for the importance of studying culture through software specifics.
HASTAC II continues with Curtis Wong's fantastic Keynote Address about the development of interactive storytelling and educational media applications over the last 20 years. From early CD-ROMs to the first enhanced broadband television program (PBS's Commanding Heights), Wong worked through some key improvements in digital interfaces.
