Research focuses on a new paradigm: the "media fabric" -- a semi-intelligent organism where lines of communication, threads of meaning, chains of causality, and streams of consciousness converge and intertwine to form a rich tapestry of creative story potentials, meaningful real-time dialogues, social interactions, and personal or communal art- and story-making. The fabric is characterized by six critical attributes: synergistic, integral to our everyday lives, mindful, improvisational, inviting self-reflection and connected.
