1. Suits: A Narrative of About Twenty-Seven Hours, More or Less

   Author's description from The New River: 

   This piece tells the story of a character's response to her father's death. In creating this piece, I worked in Flash ActionScript 3.0 to code a random trigger function, so that when you click on the suit icon a random sound file plays and an associated text appears on the screen.

Delivered in semi-non-linear modules, the piece attempts to introduce and resolve tension in the manner of a traditional narrative, while still providing the user some degree of choice and control.

4. City of dreams

   'City of dreams' is an excerpt from a work in progress entitled 'a smear of roses' and explores subjectivity, secrets, sadness and desire. The non-linear text of 'a smear of roses' ruptures traditional narrative, opening out into flightlines across the plains of madness, picking up trace memories of disturbing events, sensual and violent impulses, erotic encounters and pyschotic states.

5. Phantom Agents

   Phantom Agents is an episodic fiction that programmatically weaves sequential narration with random selections of text and image. Li and Pym are partner agents inside a broken augmented reality game. They solve complex plot problems in a plot that is proliferating beyond all reason. They collect data at virtual parties and forget all about their first bodies. They observe and are observed observing. Agency, identity, point of view and reality are slippery as both the fictional characters and the reader/user navigate cine-poetic juxtapositions, make meaningful narrative connections and progress, episode by episode, towards an understanding of the network that includes them.
