Description
The way we’ve been telling stories in the last couple of centuries hasn’t changed much. The narratives are driven by conflict and that conflict is often very polarized. They tend to be driven by a sense of rightness, making them linear and foreseeable. If you defeat the bad guy the story is over. But the system that produced the bad guy persists, and is not really addressed. In a linear story, there is only a "before and after" the conflict is solved. In collective storytelling, there are different options to solve a conflict, based on a wider range of views, needs and experiences.
When it comes to our futures, we experience hope, we feel fear, but we sometimes forget that we also have influence. We can choose the future we want to work towards. Stories can open up new worlds and inspire people to be more engaged. But can we go a step further? Can we move from XR for good to XR for change? Can people’s behavior be nudged as a result of storytelling? So they stand up to crime, reactionary policies, or natural disaster?
