Playing the role of Alice is Nesli Erten, whose performance was captured and processed in real-time with the Body Scrub device. The root inspiration for this project is Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Salvador Dali; 1969, Cassady Lewis Carroll Collection, USC Libraries. Many of the ideas for this project grew from brainstorming meetings with USC Roski BF A, Roxana Eslamieh.
The Body Scrub device was developed by Kurosh ValaNejad at the USC Game Innovation Lab. Research Associate and MAP PhD candidate Todd Furmanski wrote the code, DADA MF A candidate Nesli Erten created art assets for testing, and USC Cinematic Arts' Visiting Scholar, Dr. Vangelis Lympouridis provided technical guidance.

Around 2010, an impressive number of Cinematic Arts students began contributing projects to the Wonderland Award. They come from the Animation & Digital Arts, Interactive Media & Games, and Media Arts & Practice divisions.
In 2014, in celebration of the tenth Anniversary of the USC Libraries Wonderland Award, an entire class developed projects around Lewis Carroll. The students spent time visiting and using the Cassady Lewis Carroll Collection. A number of their works were used in the Vision and Voices, Wonderland Unbound program which shared Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, The Hunting of the Snark and other rare materials from the collection by incorporating all aspects of Lewis Carroll’s genius in unique ways, such as digital animation and massive light projections of Carroll’s famous characters that covered the walls of Doheny. Many of these animations are from that event.
A special call out goes to Woodbury University who has contributed work to this category.
