A Travel Guide
A Travel Guide is a location-based, mobile-centric application for creating poetic texts in the style of the travel guide. The project has as its goal to give visitors an alternate reading of place, through the serendipitous juxtaposition of their current location with evocative procedural text. As more people visit the site, more travel guides will be generated, until eventually the surface of the planet has been blanketed with travel guides. The guides are generated randomly and so not traditionally “accurate.” You may need to try harder than usual to apply the information contained in these guides to the locations in question.The guides are generated from a database of sentences from Wikivoyage (“the free worldwide travel guide that anyone can edit”). The generation algorithm randomly selects sentences from similarly-named sections across all WikiVoyage pages, rejecting sentences that contain proper nouns. The text created by this procedure has the familiar cadence of travel guides, but describe no place—or every place—in particular. A Travel Guide is a 2014 commission of New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc.

Beads of Orange Glass
Artist’s Statement:
Beads of orange glass is a wordless storytelling game. two players with different but equal roles collaboratively shape the space within the game.Players modify the world: planting trees, causing falling stars, altering the weather, eroding the landscape in real time, growing moss.
Players also alter themselves: becoming deer, birds, or even trees.Rather than focusing on narrative, the game presents players with a combinatorially rich textural space to explore. As they wander this permutation space together, players find pocket universes to linger in.
Each time you play the game creates a new generated world and a random set of characters and verbs to use.
