In 2000, Christopher Reyes founded Live From Memphis, a website that showcased the city's burgeoning music, film, and art scenes. The site gave artists new tools and ways to connect that bigger social media platforms had not yet built. It galvanized collaboration and helped grow community among artists. Always ahead of the technological curve, immersive multimedia art was next for Chris. In creating Baron Von Opperbean, an interactive art installation, he once again used storytelling to build community. In the future, Chris plans to introduce virtual and augmented reality dimensions to the Baron's story, a story he insists is more about the participants telling their own stories than it is about the Baron.
