Description Theater director John Jesurun and Bell Labs researchers Dan Lee and Kit August discuss their collaborative efforts in producing Jesurun's multimedia performance Snow. The piece deployed multi-screen video projections, four actors, and a "virtual actor" robotic camera to investigate received assumptions abut point-of-view, narrative structure, privacy, and surveillance.
