Creation #4.
Feel this deliberately: “I am going to feel trulypissed off now. For 10 minutes.” “How does that feel?”
Beliefs.
The phone ringing throws me into a brief panic. In a work day, there’s simply too many sales calls incoming to risk the gamble of ending up on the phone talking to a wasteful stranger, and not to have it be a one-sided call you’d otherwise prefer to hang up on. “It’s someone who wants […]
The Venue Nas Not Changed; Merely the Names of The Players
I arrived at the performance; it was an unusual; that is to say, “customized” venue: a blackened hole in the railway cabling, where the audience shuffled in, past a decaying beam and trellis structure. The stage was lit by tungsten green haloes, hung in reinforced lead cables; it was a former tube-hole, with the […]
Navigation idea.
Represented as an object or tool, like a remote control, or a pair of binoculars, that you keep with you throughout the experience; when pulled out, can take you to a new information level.

King FM :: Soundsystem 0.0.1 EP [Day 086v]
CD | Download With “Soundsystem 0.0.1” (Day 086) digital dub-plate fanatic King FM infuses electr-dub with a hint of roots reggae in this light and summery outing. Comprising eight bass-heavy, downtempo thumpers, King FM is about an instinct to preserve a chilled-out blend of clicks and cuts, vibing against low, smooth bass and rattling, exotic percussion lines.

What is this new road?
A road to a more enlightened age, pulling away from the downward spiral that cultural illiteracy or post-literacy seems to be indicating. Accelerated technology and planned obsolescence should not be the focus. A decreased emphasis on MULTImedia as a road for channel surfing, net surfing, browsing. Attention spans need to grow longer, not shorter. Technology […]
The past no longer exists.
The future of the web relies upon:1. The quickest route to finding the content that interests you…2. Finding better ways (and more of them) to use the Internet to make money, either by utilizing content, or by providing it. Remember…you decide; you draw your own conclusions… The only punishable questionis the one I dare not […]

Textworks.
How can the word “dynamic” apply to meaning? Perhaps we can create a context where we pre-visualize a setting – a site where the “interactive reading is to take place — and basing the rest upon a pre-history — namely, the user’s own back-story – he or she can assimilate new fiction as an ongoing […]

Rule 1. Observe how people play.
As we unroll new pieces, we observe how others are playing, and ask:• How did they play last week?• What are they saying?• What do they expect?• How do we best stay out of their way?• What story are we telling?• What’s the bigger, over-arcing picture…a cohesive, or underlying theme defining how we present ourselves?
Rule 2. Create a plausible reality basis.
Namely, where there exists fact, there also exists “red herrings”…On television and in film, much of what we take for granted is removed for reasons of engaging the viewer’s focus, and helping to present the director’s vision in a single arc with minimal distraction. With an on-demand, or interactive basis for a web puzzle, the […]
Rule 3. Devise the backstory.
Any creative property has a backstory; namely, the part that is interesting to the audience because it suggests the overarcing theme and humanity of the story. It is the history, and it also suggests that there will be a future after the entertainment is supposedly over. It enriches the story line and invites the audience […]
Rule 4. How do players learn the rules?
Sometimes there is a rule book. And sometimes there isn’t. In the latter case, the creators and the players will still need to agree upon some fundamentals. It is important that everyone first agree that they are playing a game. Sometimes, int he case of a reality based game, the rule book is part of […]
Rule 5. Revisit the backstory (and do it often).
If you were to provide an account of what happened later, and try to account for their motives, what would these be? For the overarcing theme of a film to resonate as the end credits roll, the director’s vision should appear to illustrate a principle beyond the simple summary of its parts. If a mystery […]
Rule 6. Create a world around that.
With a fictitious character, there are so many questions surrounding that character and their world. What did they just do?
Rule 7. Never underestimate the players.
Visit the links to the content, backwards and forwards. Is security important?How easily can they find you, and what would this do to the effect of the story you’re trying to tell?
Rule 8. Make it beautiful, but more importantly, make it plausible.
Can we make it look as beautiful as possible, without making it too beautiful?
Rule 9. The over-arcing theme.
Sometimes, the theme of one’s work becomes apparent over the course of experimentation, or improvisation. Balance that, against:Can this somehow represent something which is greater as a whole, than as the sum of its parts?
