Point and Schtick: Can Interactivity Make You Laugh?
October 20th, 2005Tim is taking part in a panel discussion tonight at 01zero-one in Soho, London about the sad lack of laughter in the digital interactive space:
“Interaction with consoles and computers elicits a lot of responses, but laughter isn’t usually one of them. Why is this? Is it that we haven’t yet found the Buster Keaton of the medium? Or is there something inherent in the nature of interactive media that simply doesn’t lend itself to comedy?”
The event will feature speakers who produce, commission and write about interactive media, games and comedy. These include: Frank Boyd, David Green, Paul Bennun and Richard White.
