Each year the majestic mountain setting of Banff is host to a mix of international and Canadian new media luminaries and rising stars. For 12 years participants have come to Interactive Screen at BNMI to reflect on the current state of new media and the shape of things to come. Interactive Screen 0.7 looks at how interaction design is shaping our everyday life through digital artifacts, for culture, play, work, and the economy.

Interactive Screen aims to stimulate the creation of emotionally powerful, creatively inspired, and economically viable new media in Canada and abroad. Interactive Screen brings together established producers, investors, and policymakers with artists, technologists, and cultural researchers of all horizons. Together they focus on the creative, social, and business impacts of digital content, technologies and networks.

During six days of work and play, participants engage with peers and mentors in inspiring dialogue and collaboration by participating in presentations, panels, workshops, and performances. Participants will come away from Interactive Screen with new projects and alliances, a refined set of skills, and a renewed faith in the cultural power of new media.
