Glorianna Davenport, USA, is Principal Research Associate at the MIT Media Lab of which she is a founding member. In 1988, she formed the Interactive Cinema Group to research and prototype digital media experiences in which narration is split among authors, consumers and computer mediators.Trained as a documentary filmmaker, Davenport’s stories focus on reinforcing the human desire to learn with and about each other. Davenport is a recent recipient of the Gyorgy Kepes Fellowship for excellence in the arts at MIT. Davenport’s work in customizable, personalizable storyteller systems has resulted in inventions at the interface (micons, video streamer, contextual selection, concept maps, elastic media), innovations in story form (evolving documentary, stories”with a sense themselves,” and transformational environments), and explorations of issues inherent in the collaborative co-construction of digital media. Davenport has taught, lectured and published internationally on the subjects of interactive multimedia and story construction.
