Interactive Media: A Polymathic Challenge

In times past, media remained generic.  Print was print, audio was audio, images were images.  Perhaps it was the fusion of film and sound that first challenged these divisions.  University Professor and Founder and Director of The Labyrinth Project, Professor Kinder began her academic career as a literary historian and critic.  Over the years she has developed into a leading expert in the field of multi-media studies. In this presentation, Professor Kinder will explore with students her current experimental work on database narratives and archival cultural history, where science and art intersect.  She will examine how the emergence of databases and archives as primary forms of knowledge production has reshaped the form and function of narrative.
