Jaime Levy

Electronic Hollywood is a full-service production studio for the Internet that creates technology-driven entertainment designed to enhance the viewer's experience. Jaime Levy also created the world's first interactive press kit, for Billy Idol's Cyberpunk album, and has published various e-magizines and electronic books. She founded the electronic magazine WORD.com and has been teaching a class called "Electronic Publishing" at NYU since before there was a "Web." Levy's presentation includes demos of her multimedia pieces as well as pop culture references galore. She also discusses new media topics, what it is like to start a business, and how the Web has progressed over the past few years.

In an age quick to criticize the so-called ambition-less, twenty-something group collectively known as Generation X, Jaime Levy outshines popular opinion. At thirty-one, she already wields a resume with a list of employers from Warner Brothers Music and Merrill Lynch to Galoob Toys, has earned her master's degree in Interactive Telecommunications from New York University and is currently programming and designing web sites for IconNet's corporate clients.

Levy, a self-described "Cyberslacker," works in what is possibly the fastest developing, most promising field there is today: Cyberspace; and, more specifically, the world of interactive multimedia and on-line publishing. Her master's thesis was a magazine on disk called Cyber Rag - read (or experienced) by loading its words, sounds and black & white images onto a computer, and letting the screen, keyboard and mouse take readers through its pages. Cyber Rag II and III came next, followed by the more colorful Electronic Hollywood. In 1993, Levy served as publisher for the electronic novel Ambulance - a book, unlike the material found on CD-ROM, written specifically for computer (and not printed) publication.

Another of Levy's big projects came in 1993 for EMI Records: the first publicly-released interactive press kit, designed to promote Billy Idol's Cyberpunk CD digipack. Levy, who grew up in Los Angeles and graduated Cum Laude from California State University, San Francisco with a bachelor's degree in Broadcast Communication Arts, also worked at IBM. An interface designer for two years, she was responsible for creating on-screen images that help users find the necessary information and functions to operate interactive services such as video conferencing and catalog shopping.

Every other month, Levy hosts what she has called "Cyberslacker Meetings," where friends involved in multimedia and cyberspace socialize and share their work. As economic marketplaces, and the world in general, become increasingly smaller with the growth of cyberspace, Levy's experience makes her an authority on this strange new territory that . Sharing her thoughts on cyberspace and offering insight to such questions as "What is cyberspace?" and "How did we get here?" her captivating manner and list of accomplishments will show audiences what Generation X has to offer, and where its talented members can take us next.
