The Virtual Window Interactive is a collaboration between author Anne Friedberg and designer/programmer Erik Loyer, with consultation from Steve Anderson.

The Virtual Window Interactive was made possible through funding for the Visual Studies Research Lab, a trans-disciplinary project at USC organized by Professor Richard Meyer (Art History/USC College), Professor Vanessa Schwartz (History/USC College), and Professor Anne Friedberg (Critical Studies/School of Cinematic Arts).

Initial ideas for this digital translation were formed in a series of meetings with USC colleagues (Professors Anne Balsamo, Perry Hoberman and Steve Anderson) who helped to ‘think tank’ the project.

The Virtual Window Interactive relies on the Dynamic Backend Generator (DBG) developed for Vectors: Journal of Culture and Technology in a Dynamic Vernacular by Craig Dietrich, as well as the Vectors server.
