CHAOSity questions the "linear, rigidly logical development of plot" and the "facile interpretation of life's complexities" that strict adherence to lenearity can imply. CHAOSity begame with analysis of existing works and theory, and ended with the creation of a collabroative, orgininal cultural work that involves individual readers as co-creators. The resulting multi-threaded story, told in text, animation, images and sound, permits both linear and nonlinear reading. By creating a visual and written text that invites and provides for active participation and co-creation, we hope to empower students to become more interested, informed, and enthusiastic readers, writers, and artists.
