Geoffrey Thomas (Storybeat)
Storybeat houses experiments in interaction, animation and narrative. The site encourages surf-and-skim viewing modes, mixing interactive moments with linear narratives and combining abstract and representational imagery. Many of the site’s stories explore psychological states and shifting emotions. These explorations are often filtered through the culture of technology.
Geoffrey Thomas has worked as a programmer, animator, interaction designer, and university professor. He has trained in the fields of fine art, animation, and multimedia. His work has been exhibited and screened at SXSW 04 Interactive, File2003, Mad 03 Net, Fluxus 2003, Siggraph 2002, Kunst Aus Strom, Popcorn Incident, Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami, Chiangmai First New Media Art Festival and featured online at ArtMedia2002, DIAN-network.com, Mediatopia.net, Rhizome.org, SoundToys.net, and Turblence.org.
