1. The Madeleine Effect

   "The Madeleine Effect" is a digital story project, an artistic look at ways to incorporate a creative text based story in the linear format and language styling of a novel into the game world. 

   I believe that when a primarily text-based fiction story is created in a visual narrative medium, it can be utilized to prompt the user to act as a character. The user therefore may be guided to perform through a narrative. I am interested in looking at interactive fiction from the perspective of a writer aiming to invite meaningful interaction leading towards playful behaviors, or acting, on the part of the player. 

   "The Madeleine Effect" is a fiction story that is experienced through both digital and print media. The story interface aims to be interactive through the player's performance, which is demonstrated by inputting text into the story while playing a defined role. The interactivity in this project is focused at this time so as to more easily observe the ideas I am exploring. My hope is that this project will spur thought and conversation about ideas for increased interactivity and a more intelligent technical structure.

2. Spätwinterhitze

   Der erste interaktive Krimi. Ein Roman im Stil des film noir mit stimmungsvollen Animationen und Sounds auf CD-ROM. Frank Klötgen sprengt die Grenzen zwischen Buch, Comic und Computerspiel und verbindet Leseerlebnis und literarische Qualität eines atmosphärischen Krimis mit den multimedialen Möglichkeiten des Computerzeitalters. Der Leser schlüpft in die Rolle des Ich-Erzählers und steuert sich als Mitarbeiter einer Headhunter-Agentur durch den Roman. Dabei kommt er hinter die Machenschaften eines Weltkonzerns, der zuhause Politiker schmiert, Mitwisser unschädlich macht und im Ausland unter dem Schutzschild von Diktaturen menschenverachtende humangenetische Experimente betreiben lässt. Ein mysteriöser Todesfall und ein todgeglaubter Störenfried geben Rätsel auf, und der Leser wird mehr und mehr in ein bedrohliches Spiel verwickelt. Ob er da heil rauskommt, hängt nicht zuletzt von seinem kriminalistischen Gespür ab...

3. Frontières Vomies (Borders vometing)

   Le roman "Frontières vomies" se déroule selon différentes orientations que le lecteur choisit en répondant aux sollicitations affichées sur l'écran. Quel que soit le choix fait, le récit se poursuit jusqu'à la fin. En fait, il navigue le long d'une tresse en empruntant l'un ou l'autre des brins, dans un sens ou dans l'autre. C'est lui qui décide : soit il va au plus vite vers la fin quitte à recommencer plus tard par d'autres voies, soit il flâne en cherchant à reconnaître chacune des voies possibles quitte à retomber de temps à autre dans certains passages uniques.

5. Nine Gestures for J.D. Salinger

   A poetic tribute to the writings of J.D. Salinger, this work explores Nine Stories (1953), by inviting participants to write their thoughts into a book in response to nine individual prompts, each corresponding to one of the stories. Interacting with the book reveals a series of poems that follow thematic gestures from the original writings.

   To interact, open the book to any one page, read the typed prompt and then write down either a single word, or short phrase as a response, writing onto the adjoining page’s writable section using the pen. A nearby screen responds by offering several composed verses with each inscription. When a section is filled, that gesture is considered complete.

6. Black Room

   "Black Room," is a browser-based, narrative game about falling asleep while on your computer, on the internet. You play as an insomniac on the verge of sleep, moving through shifting states of consciousness. Hallucinatory, pixelated visions of landscapes filled with sprites ripped directly from the arcade/NES/SNES video games of your childhood appear and disappear as you click through fragile internet spaces. Point-n-click mini games are scattered throughout the narrative. Often  interrupted, you continually return to the Black Room, a meditation technique your mother taught you for falling asleep, visualizing black flowers in a black vase on a black table in the center of a black room.
