Aardse
is
interested
in
the
relationship
between
media
and
narrative,
particularly
how
digital
media
and
ubiquitous
social
networking
challenges
longstanding
narrative
forms
such
as
novels
and
film.
His
research
focuses
on
all
forms
of
digital
textuality,
from
electronic
literature
to
computer
games
to
alternative
reality
games
(ARGs),
exploring
theis
use
of
cross-media
distribution
and
pervasive
gameplay
as
means
of
transforming
narrative
for
the
new
media
ecology.
He
is
highly
concerned
with
digital
technology:
how
this
technology
is
woven
into
everyday
life,
and
the
far-reaching
implications
of
this
symbiotic
relationship.
