1. ScareMail

   ScareMail is a web browser extension that makes email "scary" in order to disrupt NSA surveillance. Extending Google's Gmail, the work adds to every new email's signature an algorithmically generated narrative containing a collection of probable NSA search terms. This "story" acts as a trap for NSA programs like PRISM and XKeyscore, forcing them to look at nonsense. Each email's story is unique in an attempt to avoid automated filtering by NSA search systems. One of the strategies used by the US National Security Agency's (NSA) email surveillance programs is the detection of predetermined keywords. Large collections of words have thus become codified as something to fear, as an indicator of intent. The result is a governmental surveillance machine run amok, algorithmically collecting and searching our digital communications in a futile effort to predict behaviors based on words in emails. ScareMail proposes to disrupt the NSA's surveillance efforts by making NSA search results useless. Searching is about finding the needles in haystacks.

2. AUTHENTIC IN ALL CAPS

   AUTHENTIC IN ALL CAPS is a web audio adventure about the meaning of death. It draws audio drama, audio tours and alternate reality gaming. The use of audio is an attempt to create a sense of unity in a highly fragmented experience. I see the techniques and experience of audio tours as a way to bring disparate elements together. Just as an audio tour involves guiding a listener to different places, this audio experience guides players to different websites. I include both custom and existing sites, and so this project continues my interest in pervasive design: where the players’ world is part of the fictional world. The story is born out of the pain of suddenly losing my mother, and facing the meaninglessness of my life. I got past heaviness of the subject matter by drawing on my early days in sketch comedy theatre, unifying the disparate times of my life.

5. Foursqare Tales

   I use foursquare a lot, I'm a nerd and a fan of stats. I'm also a big fan of the notes people leave behind. Little hints for the new adventurer, or warnings to the unwary: 'Beware the burgers lest you suffer the consequences.'

   I started to imagine these notes weren't just tips on the dining. I started to imagine people leaving little chunks of a story.  Then you would have to explore the city to find the rest and piece them together yourself. A treasure hunt with words. Hell, since you're going for a walk, why not add in some music for atmosphere? I wanted to live in a world where useless fun things like this exist, so I started doing it myself.

   Ideally this is something that people would just discover. A wee surprise for some techie person, and a decent writing exercise for me. The more I've added my own stories though, the more I wish there were others doing it. I live in Glasgow so it's local for now, but I'd love stories from all over the world to be added. Little personal guided tours. A foursquare tale would be a great way to be introduced to a new city.

6. The Walking Dead: Season Two

   The Walking Dead: Season Two is an episodic adventure video game based on The Walking Dead comic book series developed by Telltale Games. It is the sequel to The Walking Dead, with the episodes released between December 2013 and August 2014, and a retail collector's disc edition planned at the conclusion of the season. The game employs the same narrative structure as the first season, where player choice in one episode will have a permanent impact on future story elements. The player choices recorded in save files from the first season and the additional episode 400 Days carry over into the second season. Clementine, who was the player's main companion during the first season, is the playable character in Season Two.
