Erik Loyer - "Resisting the Epic"
Old piece. Definitely still relevant.
"The title of this piece comes from a talk I gave at the 1999 Interactive Frictions conference in Los Angeles [Here at USC]."
"In my opinion, interactive designers are constantly being led astray by our culture's grandiose visions for the potential of digital media."
"These visions are fed by popular understanding of the Hollywood 'epic' as the pinnacle of creative output, and ignore the true nature of the medium."

I see certain correlations between Eric's argument and my own.
Life is like a box crayons.
It's the content stupid.

Does anyone know if there is a transcript or recording of the Interactive Frictions conference?
