Maybe Make Some Change
(Author's description.)
“maybe make some change” merges parser-based interactive fiction with textual and multimedia layering to produce a confrontational exploration of a true event. Inspired by the trial of Adam Winfield, a whistleblower soldier accused of murder, the piece freezes a single battlefield moment and replays it from half a dozen violently conflicting perspectives.
“change” questions the trust we place in narrators, and explores the fine edge between moral and immoral acts in a war zone. Juxtaposing its text narration with both footage of first-person shooters set during contemporary wars and online social networking pages of the accused soldiers, the piece also challenges the representation of and engagement with current events in mainstream interactive media.
“change” was part of the jury-award-winning “‘what if im the bad guy’ and other stories” exhibition at the 2011 UC Santa Cruz Digital Arts & New Media MFA show.

Living Will
To experience “Living Will,” a story-game and interactive fiction, the reader must choose to be one of the heirs of Coltan-magnate E.R. Millhouse, who has made his fortune in the Democratic Republic of Congo. While reading, the heir navigates this unique legal instrument, slowly accruing medical and legal fees, while also grabbing bequests from her fellow heirs. The piece explores the long shadow of colonialism, the conflict minerals buried in our mobile phones, and the heart of darkness of a dying imperialist seeking to extend his control beyond the grave.

A Nervous System
This is an interactive poem-fiction hybrid exploring unexplored taxonomies through a touch focused 3-D depth experimental interface. To understand, to translate the world, the objects and creatures and geographies around us, into meaningful (meaningless?) symbols, shareable concepts, we developed language. Then to further understand the differences and similarities of everything around us, to narrow down and dissect function and association, we created labels, categories and systems of taxonomy. And while these developed taxonomies and hierarchies are useful to organizing and departmentalizing our complex land/city/culture/art/literary-scapes, they can also hinder new possibilities and understandings. What if defining the function of the lung or leaves limits alternative and possibly powerful uses, keeps us from exploring what some might call “fringe” science? A Nervous System explores these alternative understandings of biological organisms, systems and organs.

The Bafflement Fires
The Bafflement Fires is an interaction fiction/poem in the form of a digital recreation of a Freemason board game from the 1950s. Based on found documents, this game seems an attempt to alter player perceptions through quiz and play. Also attempt at building a part fiction, part creative non-fiction world, told through the surreal and literary answers/questions of someone trying to influence how we perceived the world around/inside us, playable on a screen attempting to create its own pixeled reality.

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.

Mary Rose
Mary Rose is a digital ghost story. Nunn gave context to her work on University of Alberta's blog:
Mary Rose is about my children’s great-grandmother and I’ve been writing the story for about six months. I actually have a lot more written and was originally intending it to be a novel. I decided to use some of the writing for the final project of my Digital Fictions class and I was really happy with how the story worked in a digital format. I was actually surprised how easily the Mary Rose story fit into the interactive format.
