[-empyre-] Fwd: Welcome to the March discussion of -empyre and moderator Sandra Danilovic.

[Renate Ferro]

Many thanks to Michael Dieter for shepherding out February discussion to a
close yesterday.  Michael agreed to moderate our session last month at the
last minute and we are thankful to him and his guests for leading such an
engaging discussion on Hybrid Bookwork.  The term hybrid is a fascinating
and timely concept and I was thrilled to follow last month's topic.

It is with great pleasure that I introduce empyre to our March moderator.
Sandra Danilovic (CA) is a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council
Doctoral Fellow at the Faculty of Information, University of Toronto. Her
doctoral research explores illness and trauma narratives in
autobiographical digital games as vehicles for creative self-expression
embedded in broader social justice goals. She has an extensive background
in film production, fine arts and digital design practice. Her
semi-autobiographical machinima documentary, Second Bodies, won Best
Documentary at the New Media Film Festival in San Francisco (2010) and has
screened at Vector: Game + Art Convergence Festival (2013), San Francisco
Indie Film Festival (2011) and The Female Eye Film Festival (2011). Her
previous one-hour independent documentaries explored immigrant narratives
set within archival and contemporary contexts; Portrait of a Street: The
Soul and Spirit of College (2001) and Just Arrived (2004) were respectively
broadcast on American PBS and Rogers OMNI Television. She is a member of *The
Semaphore Lab* at University of Toronto and Toronto's DIY community, *Dames
Making Games.  *


*Sandra was in residence at the School of Criticism and Theory last summer
where Tim and I got to know her better.  We are looking forward to her line
up of guests and this month's topic, *The playsthetics of experimental
digital games.  Many of Sandra's guests are new to -empyre which I might
add now has 1,805 subscribers with active emails.


Thanks Sandra we look forward to your Introductory Post soon.
