Friday Noons: This Is Not a Talk with Chris Vieville

What happens when a room full of strangers becomes a network before they even know they're in one? This interactive session starts with a simple childhood game and unfolds into a journey through the history of alternate reality games (ARGs) and transmedia storytelling, fiction that refuses to admit it's fiction. Along the way, the audience won't just be listening; you will unknowingly generate the raw material for something collective, the shape of which won't be clear until after the session ends. Expect history, a little nerdery, one very silly game, and definitely not a talk.
