​In her new book, internationally acclaimed creative technologist, experiential innovator and author Stephanie Riggs exposes our narrative dependency on Aristotelian Poetics and introduces a framework for combining principles from the physical sciences with today’s generative tools to perhaps, at last, overcome the problematic narrative paradox. Revolutionary, research-backed, and actionable, this talk will transform everything you think you know about storytelling and radically reframe how interactive and spatial storytellers approach narrative.

​Stephanie Riggs is regarded as one of today’s most influential pioneers in immersive technology and narrative innovation. A former Disney Imagineer with over twenty-five years of groundbreaking experience in film, theater, virtual reality, augmented reality, game design, and artificial intelligence, she has been called “the renaissance woman of the immersive era” and “a 21st century Marshall McLuhan.”
