Josephine Anstey's main creative and research focus is the production of interactive fiction & drama and intermedia performance. Since 1996 she has created virtual reality dramas populated by intelligent agents and networked human actors. She is a founding member of the Intermedia Performance Studio at the University at Buffalo (UB), an experimental center for collaboration among media creators, dramatic performers, and computer technologists. Our latest project was WOYUBU. Her other projects include interactive installations, art videos, audio documentary, web and prose fiction.
She is an Associate Professor in the Media Study Department at UB, where she teaches production and analysis courses focusing on game studies, virtual environments and interactive fiction. DMS is an experimental media arts program and offers undergraduate degrees and graduate degrees (MFA). In conjunction with the Visual Studies Department, DMS offer a certificate in Game Studies and an MFA in Emerging Practices, which focuses on "the interdisciplinary space between emerging technologies and the arts."
