UnItv
2011
Interaction Design, Performing Arts, Television
A live interactive improvised news program where viewers help to create the content.
  • Unitv

    Performed as a local news broadcast, the 'news team' is given real-time user submitted content (images, questions, lyrics, and youtube videos) on which they improv the news, weather, a celebrity interview and a performance with a special musical guest. In the spirit of true improvisation, the cast is dependent upon these user suggestions to make up the show as they string one joke along to the next.

    UnItv was produced in coordination with the Manhattan Neighborhood Network and the Live Experimental Interactive Television course at ITP. After airing across Manhattan's public access network, the project took part in Maker Faire New York.
