 LEEDS ARTS RESEARCH CENTRE PRESENT:

INTERACTIVE STORYTELLING IN 2022

A one-day online conference about interactive stories – their creators, fans and commentators.

 
We're all experiencing interactive stories, more every day. What happens between the hearts, minds and fingers of the modern audience and the creative minds who make these stories?


And how is interactive storytelling drawing and expanding from video games, social media, advertising and leftfield artistic forms?
