1. Sheila Carfenders, Doctor Mask, & President Akimbo

   VR novel for Oculus Rift

   Sheila Carfenders, Doctor Mask & President Akimbo is a novel translated into virtual reality (for Oculus Rift) – a political fable of robots, sex work, hallucinogens and the consequences of power. The viewer is transported through mental hospitals, taxis, hotels and palaces mostly on rails, but with some space to explore the scenes in sandbox mode, enabling an encounter with hundreds of archival photographs and pencil sketches and found audio from across asia. The narrative – disturbing and comical and haunting and revelatory – is encountered through the spoken word of a single narrator.

   Experience the troubling, bizarre and absurd life of Sheila Carfenders, a 22-year-old mental patient who is abducted by her abusive San Francisco psychiatrist, Doctor Mask. With the Oculus Virtual Reality system, go with Doctor Mask as he takes Sheila to an impoverished Asian country decaying from a violent insurgency. The Mask hopes to build his own experimental psychiatric institution after making deals with the corrupt regime’s delirious leader, President Akimbo.

2. 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.
