Join us for a workshop that explores the rich interconnections between music, cognition, computation, and creativity, featuring a keynote address by Marvin Minsky, invited talks by Noam Elkies, Tod Machover, and Dmitri Tymoczko, panel discussions, and presentations of peer-reviewed papers and creative work. Open to the public; registration is required and is available online.

IMM is about people using interactive technology to empower, entertain, collaborate and educate. We make 3D animations and web applications, online magazines, podcasts, videos and video games. And that's not all. Please take some time to browse through the site and get to know some of the people, projects and ideas that power IMM.

Interactive Storytelling

This course will explore existing and experimental methods for telling interactive stories. Interactive stories are defined as stories that allow the audience, listener, or reader to participate in the shaping of the narrative. Students will be able to articulate the differences between linear, non-linear, multilinear and meta-linear narratives. Students will analyze stories, they will create their own interactive stories using multimedia technologies, and they will hypothesize about the potential usefulness and social utility of new storytelling technologies under development.

The Dirigible

Alfonso Callejas, Luis Herrera, Christian McConnell, Corey Rodriguez

A short clip from a larger scheme about a boy (Zael) living under a brutal dictator in an Aegean inspirited, 1930s "steam punk" world. Zael discovers something that could potentially change his life, and maybe more.
