Nadya Lev is a multimedia artist and technologist. Together with her co-founder Star St. Germain, she is building Aconite, a mixed reality storytelling platform. Aconite defines a mixed reality story as an immersive experience that sits at the intersection of narrative, adventure and game. Aconite stories use the real world as a platform, the body as a controller, and a suite of technology-driven storytelling techniques to blur the line between reality and fiction. Influences informing Aconite include: alternate-reality gaming, psychogeography, immersive theater, escape rooms, live-action roleplaying, geocaching, locative art, and street games.
