ABOUT THE EPISODE
This episode of SIGGRAPH Spotlight was recorded live in Denver during SIGGRAPH 2024. In this conversation, SIGGRAPH 2024 Labs Chair Jonah Brucker-Cohen and four Labs contributors — Brandon Ables, Julia Daser, Yi Qing Ng (Pepi), and Jeremiah Teipen — share more about the hands-on classes and demos they showcased in the Labs and how we use hardware to shift our perception of how interactive media functions and lives outside the screen.

SIGGRAPH Spotlight

82 – Live From SIGGRAPH 2024: Interactive Media Outside the Screen

Dylan Horrocks and Zach Dodson have created a university programme that their younger selves dreamed about. They are co-founders of The Visual Narrative Lab: a place for visualisers and world-builders of all sorts to explore storytelling across media ranging from comics to creative writing to tabletop roleplaying.

Dylan, author of the acclaimed graphic novel Hicksville, and an Aotearoa Arts Laureate, has worked as a cartoonist, writer, and illustrator for over 35 years, and is renowned for his world-building, storytelling, and scholarship. Zach creates interactive narratives across various media, including the "illuminated novel" Bats of the Republic. He is also the founder of a publishing company, Featherproof Books, and a video game studio, Interactive Tragedy LTD.

Sadie Coe talks to Dylan and Zach about their work, about play, and about the joys and pains of creativity, and gets jealous of students of the amazing Visual Narrative courses offered at Te Herenga Waka Victoria University of Wellington (https://www.wgtn.ac.nz/design-innovation/research/communication-design/visual-narrative-lab).
