FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tribeca Film Institute Announces Lineup for 3rd Annual TFI Interactive
New Interactive Playground to Explore Intersection of Culture, Technology and Storytelling
(NEW YORK, NY) March 26, 2014 Tribeca Film Institute (TFI) today announced the dynamic new program for the third annual TFI Interactive event supported by the Ford Foundation. The day-long meeting of the minds takes place during Tribeca Innovation Week at the Tribeca Film Festival (TFF) and is devoted to exploring the future of storytelling in an ever-evolving digital world. On Saturday, April 26th TFI Interactive (TFIi) will assemble the brightest thinkers and innovators from the worlds of media, journalism, gaming and technology for an all-day forum and an Interactive Playground, a new addition which will connect participants with a selection of the speakers' projects.
Thought leaders from around the country will share their insights, inviting content creators to rethink storytelling paradigms during a full day of interactive panels and presentations. Participants will come together to explore the impact the changing digital media ecosystem has on their industries and will examine tools and trends that are re-shaping business, film and the art of storytelling. The event will take place from 9:30 am 6:00 pm at the IAC Building in New York City and is open to TFI-invited guests, all TFF badge holders, pass holders of the new Tribeca Innovation Week, and TFI members.
TFIi will kick off with a keynote from Kenyatta Cheese, co-founder of Everybody at Once and co-creator of Know Your Meme. Kenyatta studies the ways that ideas spread through culture and will talk about how audiences have changed. The event will close with a keynote on the limits of technology by Brooklyn-based Internet artist and designer, Jonathan Harris, named a "Young Global Leader" by the World Economic Forum.
Conversations during the day will range from a talk with New York Times R&D Lab Creative Director Alexis Lloyd on how emerging technology and user behaviors may affect news information and media, to a presentation on cutting-edge, digital technologies that can sense and respond to a wide range of physical expressions by Tom Igoe, Associate Arts Professor, ITP/Tisch School of the Arts/NYU and co-founder of Arduino.
TFI Interactive has the unique ability to showcase and highlight a wide range of diverse projects including storytelling and innovative digital experiments, said Ingrid Kopp, Director of Digital Initiatives for Tribeca Film Institute. The field is always evolving and we are so proud to have the ability to bring these different leaders together for an opportunity to share their own personal work while igniting new ideas for the future.
TFIi's new Interactive Playground will give participants an opportunity to interact directly with speakers' featured projects including:
TFI INTERACTIVE PROGRAM & SCHEDULE:

Beth Janson, Executive Director, Tribeca Film Institute
10.00 a.m. Opening keynote: The Audience has an Audience
Kenyatta Cheese, Professional Internet Enthusiast
Kenyatta Cheese kicks off this year's TFIi with a keynote about audiences. People tweet, share, and re-blog their opinions, hopes, fears and the things they love about a story as it is happening. The audience now has an audience, a group of people gathered around a shared passion who become their own community. This activity is changing the ways that stories are being told. Kenyatta will show us what this means for both creators and audiences.
10.50 a.m. Objects as Oracle
Alexis Lloyd, Creative Director, The New York Times R&D Lab
As objects become increasingly connected, they become potential conduits for new forms of storytelling and interaction. Alexis Lloyd researches emerging technology and user behaviors, exploring how these trends may affect news information and media.
11.00 a.m. Physical Computing and Human Interaction
Tom Igoe, Associate Arts Professor, ITP/Tisch School of the Arts/NYU; co-founder, Arduino
Physical computing is about understanding the basics of human interaction to inform how we design the ever expanding digital world we are creating. Tom Igoe explores ways to allow digital technologies to sense and respond to a wider range of human physical expression.

Moderated by Michelle Byrd, Independent Media Consultant. Panelists: Loc Dao (Circa 1948), Nathan Penlington (Choose Your Own Documentary), Jonathan Minard, James George (Clouds), Matthew Carey (On a Human Scale) and Nonny de la Pe a (Use of Force)
