5D Institute, in association with the University of Southern California, invites you to The Science of Fiction. This immersive festival will move beyond tired binaries to present a one day World Building event. Teams that include leading theorists and practitioners from a wide spectrum of creative and scientific disciplines will join with young innovators who are working on the bleeding edge.

Using the narrative design principles of World Building, these revolutionary minds will work together to create an alternate visionary world, a near future reality that could lie just around the corner if only given the right impetus.

The Science of Fiction will take place on Apr 13, 2013 in honor of the unveiling of the new USC School of Cinematic Arts Interactive Media complex.
