The Interactive Open

  • Date: Thursday, October 29th
  • Time: 7:00 to 9:00pm
  • Venue Title: The Grassy Knoll
  • Venue Location: 123 NW 2nd Ave, Portland, Oregon

Open Source, Open Content, Open Invitation – this event invites interactive artists to remix and reimagine the animated film Sita Sings the Blues as a standalone art piece, focused on the theme of ‘Conversations’. The finished pieces will be available for hands-on play and discovery, and the source code freely downloadable.

As an attendee, you will get to experience these new pieces and interact with them directly. If a piece piques your interest, download the source code and figure out how they made it.

Nina Paley created a feature-length animated film, ‘Sita Sings The Blues’, and made the source content available. Now, artists around the world are taking those pieces and creating new works – in effect, having a conversation with Ms. Paley, and by continuing to make their works open and remixable, the conversation widens with each new piece.

RSVP for this event on Upcoming so we know to expect you!
