Designing distributed biography: co-constructing a polyphonic application on borrowed time

Published: 22 October 2007 Publication History

Abstract

This paper describes the design of Distributed Biography, an online tool for the co-construction of individual, event, location or experience-based narrative. As the application is currently in the later stages of alpha development, the focus herein centers on our original designs, the process of understanding the collaborative rhythms of the group, and outlining the development trajectory.
