Minnesota Electronic Theatre 2000
MINNEAPOLIS (October 25, 2000) - Technology and art come together in an
exhilarating, compelling exhibit at the eleventh annual Minnesota Electronic
Theatre event on November 8! Glimpse Minnesota's own "best of the best" in
computer animation, interactive multi-media, special effects, post
production and web design. Over 50 works will be on display featuring
accomplished companies and individuals, such as Periscope Interactive, Pixel
Farm, SixtyFootSpider, Popular Front, Hi-Wire, Crash & Sue's, and more...
Attendees will discover dynamic approaches to merging media technologies and
art during a mind-blowing and inspirational presentation by Greg Uhler and
Mike Brown, the creators of MYST III: EXILE. The Myst franchise, which
includes Myst and Riven: The Sequel to Myst, is considered by many to be a
cornerstone of computer gaming. Combined, these products have sold over nine
million units since the game's introduction in 1993. Uhler and Brown will
address queries such as - How do cutting-edge technologies and the artistic
mind merge? How do animation and interactivity combine in the gaming
industry?
