1. Kubbe Lager Skyggeteater

   In this digital first picture book app, the reader encounters several interwoven stories connected by a thoroughly digital aesthetics that suits the different stories. The frame narrative centres around Kubbe, an anthropomorphic wooden log (kubbe is Norwegian for log) who is having a picnic with his grandmother and becomes curious about the shadows he sees. Upon hearing his grandmother’s story about how shadow theatre was created in ancient China, Kubbe decides to produce his own shadow theater: an unusal retelling of “Little Red Riding Hood”. The tablet’s affordances of back lighting, animation and visual spatiality are exploited in this app in a manner that suits and enhances the different stories’ individual characteristics.

2. Lulu Sweet: A Gold Rush Tale in 8 Acts

   Lulu Sweet: A Gold Rush Tale in 8 Acts (2015) is a location aware walking tour app situated on the Fraser River, re-imagining the life of Gold Rush actress Lulu Sweet, for whom Lulu Island (Richmond, BC) was ostensibly named.

   Using animations, archival imagery and sound, panoramas, and 19th century newspapers, the artists take viewers on a journey from New York in 1850 through the jungles of Panama, to the mining towns of California and the outposts of colonial England, ending in the footlights of the Gold Rush stages of San Francisco.

   There are nine gps activated hot-spots, each taking you back to a different moment in time, from 1850 to 1863.Lulu takes the stage at the tender age of ten in the rough mining town of Hildreth’s Diggings, California; shares the stage with the notorious Adah Menken in San Francisco; is managed by desperate swindlers and hot-headed gamblers. All of this is set against the backdrop of the Fraser River itself, upon which she and Colonel Richard Moody (the officer charged with surveying the region) sailed in 1861, the ‘moment’ when the island received its name.

3. Hilda Bewildered

   Thank you for your interest in this app. Ironically, this page gets more interest now that Hilda Bewildered is unavailable!

   Hilda Bewildered was released 30 January 2015. Apple removes from sale apps which have not been regularly updated, regardless of whether they continue to work or not. In order to update Hilda we need the latest XCode, which requires a newer Mac. When we buy a new Mac, we’ll update XCode and resubmit Hilda Bewildered to the App Store. But we recently updated our PCs, so… we don’t actually need new Macs right now, apart from this one annoying thing.

   See the Hilda Bewildered Book Trailer on YouTube.

   Author notes are available from within the app. Various extra notes can be found published on this blog — click on a Hilda Bewildered tag or do a search for “Hilda Bewildered” to see them all in one place.

4. Bitterveld

   In de Book App Bitterveld reist de hoofdpersoon met de Berlijnse S-Bahn en U-Bahn naar de verschillende herdenkingsmonumenten van de stad en observeert de medereizigers. Welk verband is er tussen die observaties en de Tweede Wereldoorlog? De gebeurtenissen van toen lijken lang geleden, maar hebben wel degelijk met onze tijd te maken.

5. Karen

   Karen's your new personal adviser, and she's more than happy to help you work through a few things in your life. Communicate with her through the app and she can call you any time, day or night. Over the course of a week or so, she asks you some questions about your outlook on the world to get an understanding of you. In fact, her questions are drawn from psychological profiling questionnaires. She – and the software – are profiling you and she gives you advice based on your answers. (Source: artist description)
