[arg_discuss] Nine Inch Nails ARG

[Christy Dena]

Hello Eva,

I've been working on a blog post on this particular topic too! 

Another band I'm looking at is Gorillaz. 

Although there is no ARG as such, they are definitely a transmedia property.
They have a continuing narrative that runs through their music videos,
fictional websites (the band is fiction!), and even a neat thing where you
can enter the world of one of their music videos (Dirty Harry) through the
online game version.

And as for history, there is also Paul is Dead

Best,
Christy

They got me too...quite a hoot and a half.

It's a cool concept to tie in games with music...I am looking into the
possibility of writing a paper on the subject. Anyone know of any previous
cases like this (I heard Beck was looking into it at one point too, and Tori
Amos is also expanding her work into a more transmedial realm)?

Any leads gladly appreciated!
Cheers,

Eva
