Residence Plan
During my time at AIR 3331, I will be creating the next interactive digital piece for "Solar Server", an autonomous solar-powered web server set up on my apartment balcony in Calgary, Canada. The piece is called "Weather Systems", an experimental videogame about composting and regenerating the land in a post-apocalypse future.
