Madeleine explaining Pathfinders to visitors to her poster at SURCA
Madeleine Brookman and I are in Pullman, WA to show the work that Madeleine has done on the Pathfinders multimedia book to hundreds of faculty and students at WSU’s main campus. The event is called SURCA (Student Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity) showcase. We have hauled iPads, a pedestal, laptop, and copies of Patchwork Girl, Uncle Buddy’s Phantom Funhouse, and other works of early e-lit to show to the audience. With 102 videos and other media already organized into the Scalar environment, the book is looking robust. Her work will be evaluated by judges and could possibly win an award––a Crimson, if it wins 1st place, or a Gray if it wins 2nd place. She has also applied for a CAS Summer Mini-Grant and another Auvil Fellowship for next year to continue her work on the project.
