2. Style Guide for Erasing Human Dignity

   Style Guide for Erasing Human Dignity responds to the current political climate in America through a facetious writing guide mixed with poetry. The images within it trigger more text when viewed through an augmented reality app.

   This “style guide” was inspired by a recent news article about the suggestion to modify language when applying for White House funding. This prospect is incredibly dangerous; what protections disappear when language is changed or erased? Spanish-language and LGBT resources were removed from WhiteHouse.gov, for example. Style Guide for Erasing Human Dignity comments on contemporary political issues (the current attack on immigration, environmental protections and journalism) with the proposal of new linguistic strategies. The guide suggests conflating words (Could ‘weather’ be the same as ‘climate’? Could ‘credible’ be replaced with ‘retweeted’?) and provides alternative definitions (Accountability: An account, and the ability to run it effectively. Also see: Social media).

   This satirical writing guide is mixed with poetry and images of burning books.

6. The Thing Tableau

   The Thing Tableau is a 3D/VR work conceived and designed in Virtual Reality. Its story unfolds through a digital narrative that can only be viewed online. The story references insomnia and the thoughts and language that can creep and reoccur when in this twilightish state.

   The project is designed for audience interaction through click-based annotations, and can be viewed in multiple ways: as a text-based narrative that unpacks when an audience member interacts with it, or as an automated playthrough (though it’s preferred that audience members get to interact with the model in a 3D or even VR space).

   The Thing Tableau is one of the works from the V[R]ignettes Microstory Series.

7. ACESULFAME K

   Jason Nelson’s “Acesulfame K,” we get to experience both the control and randomness that life has to offer. You get the chance to control a skeleton falling, smashing into objects, and creating your own anti-capitalistic poetry. It has a distinct video game feel and we found ourselves getting lost for long stretches of time. Perfect for ignoring those real-world things that bring you anxiety. Who knew poetry could be so much fun?

9. Breathe

   Breathe is a ghost story. It is a ghost story about a young woman, Flo, who likes to talk to ghosts. Or maybe it’s the ghosts who like to talk to her.

   Full of psychological suspense and haunting interruptions, Breathe is a story for anyone who wants to know what it’s like to read a personalised book and feel a chill when they see their digital world and their real world combine.

   Intimate and uncanny, Breathe will leave you checking over your shoulder and looking at your phone and your room in a way you never have before.

10. Black Room

    "Black Room," is a browser-based, narrative game about falling asleep while on your computer, on the internet. You play as an insomniac on the verge of sleep, moving through shifting states of consciousness. Hallucinatory, pixelated visions of landscapes filled with sprites ripped directly from the arcade/NES/SNES video games of your childhood appear and disappear as you click through fragile internet spaces. Point-n-click mini games are scattered throughout the narrative. Often  interrupted, you continually return to the Black Room, a meditation technique your mother taught you for falling asleep, visualizing black flowers in a black vase on a black table in the center of a black room.
