If you want to see interactive art-as-activism at its finest, set up a Google Alert for Vivoleum RIGHT NOW.
The USC School of Cinematic Arts Interactive Media Division proudly presents ARE YOU HERE, an exhibition of graduate thesis projects from our three-year MFA program. These eleven unique projects range from web visualizations to new genre games to immersive installations, from activist to physically active, and from pedagogical to just plain funny.
