LOS ANGELES, CA – DIG (Digital, Interactive and Gaming) is an exciting and innovative new showcase from the Slamdance Film Festival dedicated to emerging independent artists working in hybrid, immersive, and developing forms of digital media art.

Ten works will feature in the inaugural DIG show, hosted by Big Pictures Los Angeles (2424 West Washington Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90018). DIG opens December 4 from 5-9pm, and runs consecutive weekends, December 5th & 6th and 12th &13th from 12-6pm. Admission is free and open to the public. The show will also be featured at the Slamdance Film Festival in Park City that runs from January 22nd through January 28th 2016.

Collectively, DIG represents a discovery of unique experiences. The new showcase features meta-narrative iPad applications, short films made for virtual reality, cubist-inspired video art pieces and video games being developed for PlayStation and the personal computer. Projects are reflective and bombastic by turns, allowing attendees to be surprised by a variety of different interactions. DIG projects emphasize touch, personal visual perspective, innovative connections between space and movement and finding sense in uncertainty. The program is the result of a chaotic entry process that told artists simply, “if you think your work fits, it likely does.”

DIG was co-curated by Big Pictures Los Angeles founder Doug Crocco, along with Slamdance’s Deron Williams and Peter Baxter.

“We deleted the rules and regulations to help encourage and find emerging artists pushing and breaking the boundaries of interactive storytelling through digital media and technology. We hope people coming to the show will find as much curiosity, fun and appreciation interacting with the work as we did programming it,” said Slamdance President and co-founder Peter Baxter.
