1. This is a Picture of Wind: A Weather Poem for Phones

   This is a Picture of Wind expands upon a series of short texts written in response to the winter storms which battered South West England in early 2014, resulting in catastrophic flooding in Somerset and the destruction of the seawall and rail line at Dawlish in Devon. Following the news in the months after these storms, I was struck by the paradox presented by attempts to evoke through the materiality of language a force such as wind which we can only see indirectly through its affect. I began to explore weather in all its written forms.

   Part poetic almanac, part private weather diary, and part live wind report for the South West of England, this work attempts to call attention to climate change by picturing through variations in language the disturbances and sudden absences left in the wake of wind.

   This work is designed to be read on phones. It calls on live wind data. A new text was added for each month of 2018. A text about this work written by Johanna Drucker was published in December 2018.

2. A Place Called Ormalcy

   A Place Called Ormalcy is a digital fiction designed for, and developed in, Virtual Reality. It’s comprised of a text-based story made up of seven short Chapters housed in 3D/Virtual Reality environments that can be accessed via mobile devices, desktop PCs and via a large range of Virtual Reality hardware. This VR story was constructed with each chapter (comprised of 3D models, text, and audio) compiled using Sketchfab. In January 2019, A Place Called Ormalcy was shortlisted for the New Media Writing Prize and in December 2018 was also showcased at the Art Expo of the 2018 International Conference on Interactive Digital Storytelling in Dublin, Ireland (sponsored by Microsoft Ireland). Earlier in 2018, the project was also a finalist in the 2018 Queensland Literary Awards in the Digital Literature category.

3. 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.

4. 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.
