Marcus G. Stokes...Lakeitha M. Stokes...Tera R. Agee... Teresa R. Thomas... Demetrius R. Thomas... At the time of this writing, these are the latest mass shooting victims in America. Their names, and hundreds more, are displayed individually on a computer screen, along with age, play, and date of death.
The display of victim’s name is an act of remembrance , intended to highlight the loss of human life by gunfire and promote the will to seek solutions to this and other forms of violence. Through its use of technology, Remembering the Dead replaces direct interactions, typical of traditional interactive storytelling, with internal, personal remembrance and reflection, seeking to engage audiences in emotional stories of failed social and civic justice.
