Sundance: Storytelling’s Next Step Is A Pandemic. A mysterious virus is turning the adults of Park City, Utah into sleepwalking zombies.
So goes the premise behind Lance Weiler’s Pandemic 1.0, an interactive storytelling experience that unfolds over five days at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. In a twist on the festival’s theme of “Be Here”, Pandemic 1.0 offers those not at the festival a chance to participate by playing along with people at Sundance. Together they have 120 hours to stop the spread of the disease, and time is running out. The physical hub is the festival’s annual New Frontier gallery, a cutting edge collection of digital art and new media narrative experiments. Located in the hundred plus year old Miner’s Hospital, Pandemic’s Mission Control can be found in the purportedly haunted basement. At random intervals angry red “Quarantine” warnings flash, putting the room in lockdown. Beyond the lights of Mission Control a dark room lit only by flashlight beckons.

"Pandemic 1.0", de Lance Weiler: Un proyecto transmedia. “Pandemia” (“Pandemic” en inglés) es un vocablo que procede del griego pandêmon nosêma, [pan = todo] + [demos = pueblo] + [nosêma = enfermedad], expresión que significa “enfermedad de todo un pueblo“, y es la afectación de una enfermedad infecciosa de los humanos a lo largo de un área geográficamente extensa. Etimológicamente hablando debería cubrir el mundo entero y afectar a todos. “Pandemic 1.0” (Pandemia 1.0) es un proyecto del artista norteamericano LANCE WEILER que se presentó en el pasado Festival de Sundance 2011 como una atrevida y ambiciosa experiencia narrativa transmedia, donde el público puede participar a través de distintas plataformas: internet, teléfonos móviles, juegos sociales, material impreso, y también interactuando en el mundo real.

When the phone rings I’m feeling a bit nervous. The voice on the other end is slow and calculated. “We can do 30,000 but it will take 10 weeks. In order to get it in time for Sundance we need to order 500,000 and ship from China… We’re going to have to find another way.” Not quite your normal Sundance prep conversation, especially when the items in question are bottles of water. Lance Weiler’s Transmedia Project ‘Pandemic 1.0′ Premieres at Sundance (and Online) Transmedia pioneer Lance Weiler premiered his new project, Pandemic 1.0, at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival last night.
Also known as “Pandemic 41.410806, -75.654259″ — which, if you put those coordinates into Google Maps, reveals a Scranton, PA setting — the 10-minute short premiered yesterday in the New Frontier Performances and Installations section of the festival, as well as on FEARnet HD (Verizon FiOS channel 197). And online, right here: The short, which is accompanied at the festival by a number of real-world extensions, is part of a larger feature project named HiM, and is being billed by Weiler as a “story research and development” project, along the lines of a software beta launch: The intention of employing a story R&D approach to the project is to experiment, review and refine.
