Main Article Content
The present article explores a range of netprov projects, a hybrid art form that uses available technologies in transmedia combinations to support improvised role-playing and the creation of fictional narratives in real time. From the implementation of an Air-B-N-Me experience, we present the results of our aim to use time-tested tricks from literary, theatre, game and other creative traditions. Our research aims to reject the compartmentalisation of creative tradition into silos, something that takes place even within individuals.

Rob Wittig, Assistant Professor, Graphic Design University of Minnesota Duluth
Rob Wittig's background is a combination of graphic design, literature and digital culture. In the early 1980s he co-founded the legendary IN.S.OMNIA electronic bulletin board with the Surrealist-style literary and art group Invisible Seattle. IN.S.OMNIA was one of the earliest online art projects of the digital age. In 1989 he received a Fulbright grant to study the writing and graphic design of electronic literature with French philosopher Jacques Derrida in Paris. Rob's book based on that work, titled Invisible Rendezvous was published in 1995. Alongside his creative projects, Rob worked for 15 years in major publishing and graphic design firms in Chicago. In 2008, Rob's web project Fall of the Site of Marsha was among the first works of electronic literature to be archived in the Library of Congress. He is currently developing high-design, collaborative fiction projects in a form called netprov, networked improv literature. Rob holds an M.A. in Digital Culture from the University of Bergen, Norway (2011).
