Interactive Media Seminar
Sweet Hall 415  / Stanford University / Stanford, CA 94305-3090

							10 September 1996

Dear Dr. Prof. Schweizer,

On behalf of the Interactive Media Group (IMG), I am delighted to invite you to visit Stanford University and participate in our faculty seminar on the theory and technologies of representation in interactive media.

As we have dicussed, your responsibilities will be (1) to give a public lecture on "Natural Interactivity," as you've described in your abstract, and (2) to lead a seminar discussion on related issues with our Interactive Media Group.   I propose that the talk be given Wednesday December 4, and the discussion be held at the IMG's regular seminar the following Wednesday.   Of course, we can adjust the time and order as necessary.   We would like to offer you an honorarium of $1000 for this work.

A word about the composition of your audiences.  The IMG is comprised of faculty and students from the humanities, mostly literature and the arts, who are studying or creating interactive media.    We would like to understand how we can compose and inhabit these new narratives and spaces.   How do people find these new media compelling or alienating?   How do we construct or imagine symbolic artifacts in these media?   What is phenomenology and action in these contexts?

I look forward to meeting you and exploring some of our common interests in December.
