Pass 4- Ideas

23Jul07

 
    To take my project to the next step of interactivity, I want to use place and objects to add to the story. I used a box that is shaped like a book and hollow inside. I used that object to put my project in. I sectioned up the story into the vignettes and burned [...]


You wake up in a hospital, hazy and slightly delirious. You don’t remember hurting yourself or getting hurt. How did you get here? The story begins here with the player in a first person perspective of a patient in a hospital. You can look around and explore the room. You can look in a mirror [...]


I approached this pass as an entirely new project. I used all different images and ideas to create something very rich and sensory. I video taped in the library and recoded sounds of books.

27May07

Last semester, I began a hypertext project that intermixed five sections of reading: one set of poetry, two narratives, and two theoretical/historical texts. I began linking across the separate texts trying to create reading through the form, not just the content. I didn’t finish this project and feel it could be pushed further in this [...]

We live surrounded by woods and water in a cute apartment complex with our giant great dane, Sega. I like being around nature and getting surprised by the creatures that show up here (otters and [...]
