Jay Bolter, author of Remediation: Understanding New Media
talk: Ghost Movies - Augmented Reality as a New Dramatic Form
Tuesday 28 January 8pm
held at The Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) , London

Augmented reality (AR) has the potential to define new forms of
entertainment as well as dramatic and installation art.

At the Georgia Institute of Technology, Jay Bolter and his colleagues
are seeking to create one such new media form, which they call "ghost
movies." Wearing an AR headset, the user sees and hears human figures
(digitised videos), who either address the user directly or act out
their dramas before the user as spectator.

Jay Bolter is Wesley Chair of New Media, Georgia Institute of
Technology and the author of the acclaimed Remediation: Understanding
New Media (MIT Press, 2000) with Richard Grusin, and The Writing
Space: The Computer, Hypertext and the History of Writing (Lawrence
Erlbaum, 1991).
