Out of Touch
In our world of perpetual connectivity, touching interfaces that keep us out of reach, we form attachments whilst remaining detached, by turns kindling and dampening emotions. A series of musings on the paradoxical and often poignant nature of human relationships amid networked life. An ongoing project of playable and performing media.
The title episode, Out of Touch, was commissioned by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art for the Third Hand Plays series curated by Brian Stefans, published at SFMOMA's Open Space in August 2011.
Underbelly
A playable media fiction about a woman sculptor, carving on the site of a former colliery in the north of England. As she carves, she is disturbed by a medley of voices, some from the site's dark industrial past, and the player/reader is plunged into an underworld of repressed fears and desires. Created in Flash, with sound, 2010.
