Media Dancer, Who Sets the Tune

 
Gaston Roberge (Author)
Synopsis Media Dancer - who sets the tune? aims to help people regain some of the freedom they have lost to the "empire of mind" under the fire of its "soft weapons of mass distraction."

Today's media oppressed do not read books as was done up to a recent past. They deal with books as they deal with the Web. Hence, Media Dancer has been conceived as a non-book, with some of the characteristics of the new media: non-linearity, fragmented presentation, open text, and images. The cover and page design are by Aparajito Chakrabarty, a sixteen year old Bengali residing in Kolkata, and a student of Class X.

Media Dancer comprises twenty self-contained modules of two pages each. The modules deal with subjects like: media awareness, copyright, the digital divide, and others. The modules are complemented by over thirty texts, mostly of one page each, and identified as 'fragments.' The user is invited to browse through that material.
