Adult Coloring Books, the Future of Fun and More: Experiential Storytelling Track Sessions at SXSW 2018

Discover how new technology has impacted the world of storytelling and immersive entertainment in the Experiential Storytelling Track at SXSW 2018. Learn how experimental strategies of storytelling are re-shaping the way global audiences digest information and changing a practice as old as time. Check out some of the highlights of the Experiential Storytelling Track with our session recommendations below.

“At a time when everyone can be a storyteller, Experiential Storytelling is an attempt to understand the ramifications,” says SXSW Programmer Jim Kolmar. “Initially concerned with the influence of technology on narrative strategies, this track provides a showcase and platform for storytelling as a living, breathing entity that can move in unpredictable directions, unbound by any one method or form.” For example, the session Provocative Adult Coloring Books delves into the storytelling potential of the hugely popular, yet unexpected medium of coloring books. Sally Eckhoff (F*CK ART (LET’S DANCE)) and Andrea Baker (FAMOUS RAPES) of Water Street Press will explore how they adapted their texts into coloring books, and what they learned along the way.

From reclaiming identity through multi-media, to how interactive audio will change everything, the Experiential Storytelling Track will showcase different sessions that highlight the evolution of storytelling. Dive deeper into the Experiential Storytelling Track from March 12-14 during SXSW Convergence programming. SXSW Convergence programming features a range of topics that straddle the cultural and technological intersection at the heart of SXSW with primary access granted to all SXSW Badges.

Music and the Brain: How Sounds Become Pleasurable

Speakers: VALORIE NILOUFAR SALIMPOOR (Cignition), DOUGLAS ECK (Google), ALAIN DAGHER (Montreal Neurological Institute McGill University), and INDRE VISKONTAS (Cadence, San Francisco Conservatory of Music)

We bring together experts in the field of neurology, psychology, cognitive science, music performance, and machine learning to explore a question that is fundamental to humanity: what makes music pleasurable?

How Artists are Redefining Their Careers with Data

Speaker: ANABELLE ZEE (Next Big Sound at Pandora Media) and JULIEN BENATAR (Next Big Sound at Pandora Media)

Artists have limited resources and unlimited data. That data, without context is meaningless. But with the right context, it can redefine an artist’s career trajectory and inform the right decisions. In this talk, two experts from Next Big Sound at Pandora will walk through groundbreaking artist stage research, previously unreleased peer research and product innovations around automating reporting for artists and their teams.

Earworms & Triggers: The Alchemy of Branded Music

Speakers: ABBEY HENDRIX (Walker), CHRIS JAMES (Chris James Audio), DAVID NOLTE (Scratch Creative), and REBECCA RIENKS (NBC Entertainment)

“Like a good neighbor, _____ is there.” “The best part of waking up is _____ in your cup.” “I don’t wanna grow up, I’m a _____ kid.” Simply reading these catchphrases is enough of a trigger for your brain to remember the melody, the song and – more importantly – the brand in question. How do brands build a music identity that not only sells their products, but also their company objectives? And how are jingles, themes and mnemonics used to induce this sort of Pavlovian response in the audience?

Making & Promoting Music sessions will be held from March 13-17.

It really struck me how progressive many of the entries were this year and how far the entrants were willing to push the brief. These were the photographers who caught my eye – the ballsy, out-there risk-takers who make compelling pictures that refuse to be ignored. I’m proud to have helped to get this great kit into their hands – their images deserve it. – Tom Oldham

Chiclets, Never Gets Old! Campaign by Amro Thabit

Chiclets, Never Gets Old! Campaign by Amro Thabit

Chiclets, the candy-coated gum brought to us by the Cadbury company, brings back such great memories and flavors of my youth so when I stumbled upon this latest work for Chiclet by Cairo based Amro Thabit I just had to share. Introduced in 1900, this iconic gum is still distributed in limited supply across the globe. We’re hoping Amro’s work puts the brand back on the map in a bigger way for today’s youth to appreciate. Scoop more on the project and corresponding work below. 

ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN

CHICLETS, NEVER GETS OLD! chiclets has always had a place on every shelf; here, there & everywhere. the true definition of an all-time classic.. chiclets decided to embrace a young spirit sticking to its old soul. now targeting the younger generation, a more vibrant package design was born. by turning chiclets iconic half-circle into five different mouth-shaped designs. Inspired by the originality of the older packs, i took the existing undefined shape and transformed it into a mouth.To bring this further, i injected modern & personalized elements, giving the new packs a retro look; a look appreciated by teens. i gave each of the five flavors a personality, a distinct character, using differentiating colors & elements such as piercing, mustache, braces… The five packs are not only visually distinct; each one a character that is reflected by their look & speech. The one trait they all have in common is a sense of humor.

25 Years of SXSW Film Festival – Jay Duplass

To commemorate the 25th edition of the SXSW Film Festival, we continue our weekly alumni spotlight on careers launched, artists discovered, powerful performances, and more with actor and filmmaker Jay Duplass.

Duplass has acted in, produced, and directed many films that have shown at SXSW, including the short films This is John
(2003) and Kevin (2011). His feature directorial debut The Puffy Chair screened at SXSW in 2005 and won the Audience Award for Emerging Visions. Duplass frequently collaborates with his brother Mark Duplass, and the pair were in a 2016 SXSW Featured Session, A Conversation with the Duplass Brothers. The brothers co-directed the films Baghead (2008), Cyrus (2010), and The Do-Deca Pentathlon (2012). Their most recent production, the series Room 104, is currently streaming on HBO and has been renewed for a second season.

We are thrilled to share his #SXSWFilm25 story with you.

“Because I went to college in Austin and lived there for 12 years, SXSW has meant so many different things to me over the years. But the one consistent thing it’s always meant, and I think it will always mean, is CINEPHILIA.

SXSW embodies that pure love of film that was undoubtedly the starting point for all of us no matter how we get there.”

The Blockchain Rises – 2018 SXSW Programming Trends

Each year, different trends emerge from SXSW programming and act as identifiers for where we’re at and where we’re headed. From the 12 significant trends identified by the SXSW Programming Team for the 2018 event, The Blockchain Rises explores how blockchain technology is poised to change the world of business, disrupting an array of industries including finance, healthcare, government, music, film, and more. Get to know this trend and related-SXSW sessions below that we think will dominate discussions this March.

The Blockchain Rises Trend

Blockchain technology at its core provides a transparent platform on which global transaction data is registered. The technology itself is growing increasingly more mainstream by the day as the price of Bitcoin, and other digital currencies which rely on blockchain technology, continue to skyrocket. The incredible volatility of the digital currency market has caught the attention of banks, entrepreneurs, investors, and spectators alike. The broad decentralization of data could become the next iteration of the Internet.

During SXSW 2018 sessions related to blockchain technology, hear from Joseph Lubin, founder of ConsenSys and co-founder of the crypto-currency Ethereum, during Why Ethereum Is Going to Change the World to learn about his vision for a decentralized future enabled by blockchain technology. Dive into how “programmable money” can be used to create new incentives within economic systems during Bitcoin and the New World of Programmable Money, and hear from Dominik Schiener, co-founder of IOTA Foundation, in the session Building a Machine Economy with IOTA.

New for 2018, SXSW will present a series of sessions on blockchain technology from March 14-15. Explore how blockchain technology has the potential to impact global economic systems during two full days of programming from the Startup & Tech Sectors Track.

If you’re a blockchain enthusiast, or already in the industry, be sure to add these sessions to your SXSW 2018 schedule and stay tuned for more programming announcements through March.

Blockchain Session Highlights

Join Us for SXSW 2018

The SXSW Conference includes 24 programming tracks divided amongst Interactive, Film, Music, and Convergence. Each March, some of the world’s most creative minds come together in Austin, Texas to discover, learn, network, brainstorm and collaborate.

Explore new opportunities during 10 days of sessions, screenings, showcases, exhibitions, networking, and beyond from March 9-18 at SXSW 2018. Save big when you register to attend before Friday, January 12 at 11:59pm PT.

SXSW registrants get access to SXSW hotels at the lowest rates available by making reservations through SXSW Housing & Travel. Visit our availability page and then book your stay today to save.
