By the year 2020, will the seductions of virtual worlds triumph over our desires for communal forms of entertainment?
A panel discussion moderated by Martin Kaplan, director of the USC Annenberg School’s Norman Lear Center, will ask whether people will still go to the theater, movies and museums as home entertainment becomes more sophisticated. In turn, how will this affect the business of entertainment and our culture as a whole?
The discussion will feature Mark Murphy, executive director of REDCAT, an interdisciplinary arts center housed at Walt Disney Concert Hall; longtime Time movie reviewer Richard Schickel; and Tracy Fullerton, associate professor in interactive media at the USC School of Cinematic Arts and director of the Electronic Arts Game Innovation Lab.
Organized by the USC Libraries and the Los Angeles Institute for the Humanities
