Subject: Geoffrey Rockwell, "Turing's Reaction"
Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH) is delighted to
announce that Geoffrey Rockwell's March 2002 talk, 'Turing's Reaction:
Dialogue as a model for interactivity in multimedia' delivered as part of
MITH's Distinguished Speaker Series, is now available electronically at
http://www.mith.umd.edu/publications/dss/ in both HTML and XML. An abstract
of the talk appears below:
'It is common to describe certain computer-based artifacts as interactive.
We think we know what this means, but like many terms it vanishes before
the definition. In this talk I will try to first argue that it is important
to ask about interactivity and I will then defend a definition of
interactivity in multimedia with special attention to the discourse around
interactivity in computer games.'
