1. Hologram Will

   "Hologram Will" is an interactive science fiction game. Businessman and millionaire David Mann has passed away, but before his death he recorded a hologram that acts as his will and testament. The hologram has been given to one of his heirs who has become the will's executor. The player can choose between three different heirs who each has their own unique message recorded for them. The inheritance consists of several rare and valuable items collected by Mann, in addition to company shares. As the executor, the player can also increase their inheritance by claiming the other heir's shares. However, legal and other fees will be incurred during this process and can exceed the net benefits of the will, making this a costly affair.

2. Wired Monkeys

   Wired Monkeys is a cross-genre short film that intends to blend conventional narrative with music video. Its purpose is to reflect a journey from self-realization to self-discovery of a shared hidden history all humans have. A protagonist sets out find peace as he retraces his own path of spirituality that he discovers extends far back into pre-history.

   A robot protagonist was chosen to portray what a wired monkey metaphorically represents: a programmed human. A gray metal, mostly faceless, machine that executes the same task every day. No other lifeforms seem to exist in his stark reality.

   The juxtaposition of color and black and white illustrate the stark differences between the programmed robot world and the colorful world of real human feelings. The colored lips, tragic images of the world, and beauty of nature are all meant to remind us that we are often only reminded of our humanity when pushed to the fringes of our emotions.

   Most importantly, the song which serves as the inspiration and bedrock for this narrative is also titled “Wired Monkeys” and bathes the viewer in an empowering Folk-Americana score.

3. You - Who? Customised Cinema Installation

   You - Who? is a ten minute fiction film installation for one participant at a time in which the participant features significantly in the film narrative, resulting both in humour and a certain sense of unease. The film deals with issues of identity theft: the protagonist, returning from a conference, is gradually 'possessed' by another conference attendee—portrayed by the data from each participant. The project investigates possibilities for development of the interactive film genre given current technical affordances, whilst retaining a 'standard' film-watching format. Each participant is asked by the installation for voluntary data: typing their name, their philosophy in life, choosing a favourite artwork and photograph, recording their spoken name, taking a photograph and a short video. This is the data that is rendered into the film being watched.
