About the Company & Project
We are Alterea Inc., an experience design company based in Los Angeles, CA. Through live and digital mediums we create experiences that draw on historical research and emerging art forms to explore and highlight participant agency.

Agents of Influence is an in-development educational video game that teaches students critical media literacy skills such as research, analysis, and effective conversation. We are seeking a Game Art and Media Design Intern to join our team and support the creation of compelling visual content and art assets to bring the world of Agents of Influence to life. We’re looking for someone who is creative, organized, technically savvy, and passionate about visual storytelling, game design, and the power of games to drive social change. This person will gain hands-on experience in game art and multimedia production within a startup environment focused on education, interactivity, and impact.
This is a part-time, remote, unpaid internship with the potential for increased responsibility and compensation based on performance.
