The Boulevards of Digital Creativity and Mass Production

Through a variety of projects including indie games, interactive installations, and emerging technology which span over a decade, Ben will illuminate on the processes, challenges, and concessions involved from shifting lanes between experimental methodologies and commercial methodologies in interactive development and how one cannot exist without the other. What does it mean to have a creative edge in today’s high-level cycle and be at peace of mind? How can we get there?
