Detailed Information
Marsha Kinder directs The Labyrinth Project, an art collective and research initiative on interactive narrative at the University of Southern California’s Annenberg Center for Communication. Funded by grants from the Annenberg, Rockefeller and Ford foundations, The Labyrinth Project time travels with Kinder at the helm, transporting us into the future where the immersive language of cinema and the interactive potential of digital media blast open new worlds of creative dialogue and visual possibility. Joining cultural theory and artistic practice, Labyrinth has assembled a small group of award-winning digital artists who collaborate with talented filmmakers and writers known for non-linear experimentation in earlier narrative forms.

What is an “interactive memoir,” a “digital symphony,” a “database documentary”? Come to this talk and find out! Then you’ll want to “cross the mighty Huron” and visit the five works from The Labyrinth Project that are now “at home” in the Video Studio of the Media Union, 2281 Bonisteel Boulevard, January 14 – 23. Studio hours are weekdays, 1 – 6 pm, and Sundays, 1 – 5 pm.
