To Remember a Friend
The year is 2040. A young woman named Jane Watson has been murdered in her apartment. No one knows what happened... but you plan to find out. You play as Whitlock, a rookie detective undergoing an experimental consciousness transfer procedure in exchange with the comatose sole witness to the murder. In this virtual reality narrative adventure game, you must work to uncover what really happened to Jane Watson, but just remember that memory is fluid, and those around you all have an agenda...

Ashes to Ashes and Data to Dust
Ashes to Ashes & Data to Dust was a virtual funeral service for the year 2020. Mourners were invited to reflect on their year through the project website. These reflections were then printed out into a physical coffin forming a collective eulogy.
The project concluded on New Years' Eve 2020 when the reflections were burned and finally brought back to dust.
The project is featured as a part of the first annual CalArts School of Theatre Festival and made possible by the CalArts Online Performance Grant.
