This year, the USC School of Cinema-Television, Interactive Media Division graduates the first class of its three-year MFA program, and we proudly present PASS THROUGH, an exhibition of our graduating seniors' thesis projects. These six unique projects range from mobile media to games to immersive installations, from memories and fantasies to arenas and cityscapes, and from live performance to intimate interaction. Taken together, they exemplify the promise of interactive media: a glimpse of a digital future, a vision of a novel aesthetic, a passage through what is to what can be.
