Abstract:


    Artists, academics, and commercial designers engaged in a lively discussion about the changing role of author and audience in the realm of interactive narrative. They addressed the nature of both storytelling and authorship in the framework of interactive fiction, and searched for an aesthetic of interactivity that allows an artist to give control to the audience while at the same time cultivating a unique voice.
