Biography

Glorianna Davenport is head of the Media Fabrics (formerly Interactive Cinema) group at the Media Lab. Trained as a documentary filmmaker, Davenport has achieved international recognition for her work in new media forms. Her research explores fundamental issues related to the collaborative co-construction of digital media experiences, where the task of narration is split among authors, consumers, and computer mediators. Davenport's recent work focuses on the creation of customizable, personalizable storyteller systems that dynamically serve and adapt to a widely dispersed society of audiences. Davenport's graduate workshop in multimedia production has been adopted by five international institutions. Her publications on subjects of responsive media, as well as her prototype works, have been included in many international symposia, conferences, and film festivals. She serves on the board of advisors of IEEE Multimedia, and has served on the boards of several start-up companies that have been launched following initial technological invention at MIT.
