1. Strange Rain

   In Erik Loyer's Strange Rain touch, sound, color, narrative and haptic play (the tilt of the device) blend into a tightly choreographed story driven by the gamer/reader's input. Alphonse the protagonist is standing out in a rainstorm contemplating his ailing sister and his role in her recovery. User touch controls the pace of raindrops falling on Alphonse and calls forth phrases of Alphonse's interior monologue.

2. Immobilité

   Immobilité, the first feature-length film for a mobile device, is story of two women living in a dream-like state. The audio is that of great eeriness, but we are assured by the narration that the women are not here to haunt us. Soon after, we are presented with a very interesting question; a question that is left open to interpretation by an unknown being from the distant future. Annotated by Gary Nasca.

3. Ruben and Lullaby

   Ruben And Lullaby is an interactive iPhone app/game that engages the user in a relationship between two lovers. Loyer labels this and similar projects as 'opertoons', stories that you can play. Ruben And Lullaby allows the user to shift focus between people, changing a characters mood by shaking or stroking. While the work is presented in black and white, the screen changes color based on the mood of the characters while also playing a responsive jazz soundtrack in the background. Annotated by Mike Scoggins.
