Day 2: Reflective

For Day 2, we have invited some of Mark's long-time collaborators and intellectual cousins to speak and reflect on both the history and cutting edge of interactivism and its extensions.

Day 3: Prospective

We have invited a variety of relative newcomers and associates to show us what the future of interactivism may look like.
