[ecrea] International Conference on Interactive Digital Storytelling

The organizing committee of the International Conference on Interactive 
Digital Storytelling (ICIDS) announces that the early-bird registration 
has been extended to October 22. The ICIDS conference will take place at 
Bahçeşehir University in Istanbul, Turkey, from November 6 to November 9.

The conference will be opened with a keynote by the renowned digital 
media artist Toni Dove. The full program of the conference is available 
at http://gamesandnarrative.net/icids2013/

ICIDS is the premier international conference on research and practice 
covering interactive narrative experiences such as video game
narratives, interactive storytelling, interactive drama, and interactive 
installation art concerned with storytelling. Bringing together 
researchers, practitioners and theorists presenting cutting-edge works, 
qualitative and quantitative research, advanced computational narrative 
techniques and innovative theoretical perspectives, ICIDS serves as the 
main event for exchanging ideas and perspectives on combining narrative 
and interactivity for an exciting new form of human expression that 
redefines the relationship between creators and audiences.

Interactive Digital Storytelling is an exciting area in which narrative, 
computer science and digital arts converge to create new expressive 
forms. The combination of narrative and computation has a considerable 
untapped potential: from artistic projects to journalistic 
communication, from assistive technologies and intelligent agents to 
serious games, education and entertainment. The motto for ICIDS 2013 
“Connecting Narrative Worlds” expresses this need to build bridges of 
understanding across different fields to make even better use of the 
immense potential of interactive narrative. The objective of ICIDS 2013 
is to promote understanding and dialogue between A.I. researchers, 
designers, transmedia and digital artists, narratologists and digital 
game scholars.
