2. Lusca Mourns The Telegraph | In Search of Lost Messages

   This project is an app that re-imagines a sea monster who communicates as or via an app. Lusca, is an ancient sea monster, who once thrived upon the telegram messages that were sent using the telegraph cable system. Back in the day, when she first noticed the cable structures being built, they were of no interest. Then, as the system came to life, the various noises aroused her curiosity. Sometime around 1877, after numerous tentative approaches to this unknown creature, she figures out how to latch onto to the structure, and manages to extract a transmission or two. The messages she steals fill her with new feelings. She grows strong. Her consciousness evolves. Sometime around the turn of the 21st century the volume of messaging drops. She sees the disrepair, the rust. She grows hungry. She is dying. She needs those messages. You can help. The app invites users to submit new messages in order to keep Lusca from losing consciousness. She then releases stolen messages of the past in order to absorb those of the present. Lusca might still be monitoring the airwaves.

3. Eroica: A Hypermedia Fiction

   Eroica is a hypermedia fiction for web (http://hypereroica.com/). It moves on three dimensions: narrative/temporal, mosaic/spatial, interior /vertical. It tells three similar stories, one in fin de siècle Vienna, one in a mid-century mid-Hudson River mansion, another in the upper Amazon in the present day. Every narrative presents an innovative composer, his/her artist lover, and a conservative arch-antagonist. On the spatial level the work presents 88 kinetic images that the traveler is invited to assemble into a three-dimensional mosaic depicting artistic struggle. In the vertical dimension the work submerges the traveler in three descending layers: dramatic, psychological, and archetypal. The work is composed of image, music, text, and voice. Without pause or recursion it lasts two hours. The work’s system of navigation gives the traveler options of temporal vs. spatial exploration, narrative constraint vs. total freedom, and choices of endings – order and randomness, logic and serendipity.
