The Development of Digital Narratives. Case study: Fred Adam and the pioneering mul- timedia interactive creations in the MIDE of Cuenca during the 1990s.

Abstract

[EN] In the 1990s, the International Museum of Electrography of Cuenca (MIDE), thanks to a newly-created artist-in-residency program, welcomed artists from all over the world who experimented with new media during this historical era of pioneering Media Art. One of the first artists to visit the MIDE was Fred Adam, a French artist, still a student at the École des Beaux-Arts in Nantes, who carried out countless researches in this creative field during his stay. One example that had a greater repercussion was the creation of digital narratives in interactive multimedia. This work seeks to put some of the pioneering media artworks into value, building their story, and working to recover and preserve them and update their languages so that they become accessible again. Only through this institutional and personal commitment to history can we recover, divulge and give access to the immense artistic heritage that generated and continues to generate the art that uses or has as a reference on new media.
