- THE LAST WINDOW GIRAFFE
A multi-Media literary experience with Péter Zilahy (Hungary) The Last Window Giraffe CD-ROM was born out of Péter's success with the book and the radioplay. Scripted and designed by the author and developed over two years by forty people under his direction. It's a multilingual CD-ROM in English, German, Hungarian and Serbian in the form of an interactive movie. As you scroll through the text, new sounds, videos, animations and photographs move into the frames. It's a pioneering experiment in new media and literature. Performed as a one-man-show by the author along with a screening of the CD-ROM.
