For this week’s assignment, we were told to conduct an interview with someone and then represent what they were saying visually. I’m interested in digital folklore, so I asked two friends my favorite question: What are some of your earliest memories of using a computer and/or the internet?

Interview #1: Julia Palermo

Interview #2: Joao Costa

At first I found that it was difficult to engage with the interviewee while I had my eyes down and sketching, but after we got used to the format I found that the interviews weren’t difficult to conduct. I asked questions in order to show that I was listening and engaged while I was drawing. Overall, the two interviewees seemed to enjoy telling me stories about using computers and the internet for the first time.
