ELEETHIIN,I C No flRRflT J UE 51ITl1RDR 5 OECENBER 89 19134 10 FIM, 10 Me SUN DFIY 5 OECEIeBER 9, 1984 - 10 F1M - 3 PNI The ELECTRONIC NPRRf1TJUF symposium will explore the ways in which storytelling has changed, is changing and will change as a result of emerging electronic technologies, especially those of video, home computer systems and videodisc . These technologies suggest new methods of synthesizing the various forms of artistic expression, new ways of constructing and organizing narrative elements and new conceptions of the role of the reader/viewer. The ELECTRONIC Nf1RRATJUE is organized around three topics: ELECTRONIC OPERA, ELECTRONIC SVNTFX and ELECTRONIC JNTERAC- TIUITV. Electronic Opera extends a traditional notion of opera as a synthesis of all available art forms and technologies - i .e., theatre, literature, music, dance, sculpture - into the realm of electronics. Several video artists and composers have embraced this concept, employing advanced analog and digital image and sound processing tools to create elaborate and exciting works for television . ELECTRONIC 5YNTA8 arises from the notion that electronic technology suggests, invites, even demands, styles of organizing narrative information distinct from those employed by practi- tioners of cinema . With ELECTRONIC INTERPCTIUITV, the viewer participates in creating, or determining the direction of the storyline through the use of interactive videodisc and computer software for interactive fiction .
