Jaime Levy: ITP's Enfant Terrible
CEO, Electronic Hollywood
While Jaime Levy is CEO of Electronic
Hollywood, which creates original content and interactive advertising for the Internet, she
also "specializes in designing irreverent multimedia for low bandwidth distribution." Among
her disk-based productions are Cyber Rag and Ambulance (An Animated Novel). Her
landmark piece is Cyberslacker, the first full-screen, ten-minute streaming cartoon
for the Web (visit www.cyberslacker.com). Levy says of
her professional links to the sphere of digital education, "Am I tied to academia? I'm
totally tied to academia. I'm a huge believer in the Red Burns school. Everyone I hire comes
directly out of the NYU ITP. Everyone. I did, and they know this. That way I can insure
complete and utter brand loyalty."
