Jenna Caravello makes mind-bending video games, interactive installations and animated short films that use symbolism and metaphor to ask profound questions about memory, loss, and meaning.
Caravello is an assistant professor in the Department of Design Media Arts. And she'll respond to the question “What Is Loss?” as part of the UCLA Arts series “10 Questions: Reckoning,” which brings UCLA faculty from across campus together to examine ten essential questions.
In this episode of the UCLA Arts podcast “Works In Progress,” Caravello talks about creating digital avatars, storytelling in virtual spaces, and what inspires her, from ‘90s video games and “Akira” to European and Soviet animators.
