Artist and technologist Erik Loyer shares his practice of digital instrument-making, and the ways in which he draws from comics, games, music, and film to make art, tell stories, and build creative tools. Loyer will explore how approaching each interaction as an invitation extended by the user — whether on the web, mobile, or in virtual reality — can help to shake up how we think about digital storytelling.
