iDMAa 2010 Emily Carr Univeristy of Art and Design, Vancouver, BC, Canada: New digital technologies and media are informing, challenging and reinventing our notions of narrative structures and storytelling. Non- linear, virtual, artificial, interactive and cyber culture have become common terms and concepts when describing the emerging integration of science, art, and sociology.
Leading academics, professionals and artists met November 5-7 at Ball State University for iDMAa’s 7th annual conference to explore the frontiers of digital media and art in research, industry and higher learning. Keynotes include Tom Kelley, of IDEO and author of The Art of Innovation and The Ten Faces of Innovation; Dave Herigstad, Chief Creative Officer at Schematic, Inc.; Michael Adamson, Vice President, Content and Creative at Turner Sports Interactive; and Rueben Steiger, CEO of Millions of Us.
