Peter Chung

Visual Literacy and Experiencing Animation

Peter Chung has worked in the animation industry since 1981. He created MTV's animated series "Aeon Flux" and directed the pilot for the "Rugrats" cable series. Chung has also worked on "Alexander"; the Korean animated series "Little Hammer"; and was director of filmography for "Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury". Using examples from his animated films, he will discuss the need for visual literacy as a way to understand today's complex mass media landscape and non-traditional narrative forms.
