Alternate Reality TV: Taking RIDES for a Spin

Noah J Nelson on Tuesday, Jun. 19th


From our report on today’s edition of American Public Media’s Marketplace.

Consider how we watch TV now: smartphone cradled in one hand, iPad just a lean away so we can look something up if we get curious– or bored. Hitting Twitter and Facebook.

With RIDES, Fourth Wall is essentially exploring how to turn short attention spans to their favor. Can’t picture it? Listen to the story and we’ll walk you through it.
