Dynamics of creativity and technological innovation

This article concerns the struggle between artistic expression and technological innovation. The perspective that is articulated is drawn from the work and of the Interactive Cinema group at the MIT Media Laboratory. Situated at the boundary of evolving technologies and media storytelling, research of the group iterates between shaping and presenting cinematic expressions using emerging technologies and developing the required tools and platforms to support its creation and delivery. This dynamic is integral to collaborative expression on large-scale projects, as well as in more individual research endeavors such as a current investigation which conjoins new tangible display technologies with interactive stories.
