'Describe the route you take from your parental home to your bed, where you slept as a child.' That was the question Vanhauwaert asked people who have lost their parental home. Vanhauwaert was inspired by five extraordinary stories of people whom she changed into characters. She created a mental room in which these five characters wander. 50 routes are hidden in the audiotour.
‘Beschrijf mij de route die je aflegde van de deur van je ouderlijk huis tot aan het bed waar je sliep als kind.’ Dat is de vraag die ik stelde aan mensen die, om de een of andere reden, hun ouderlijk huis verloren.
Ik liet mij inspireren door vijf bijzondere verhalen van mensen die ik tot personages kneedde. Vervolgens creëerde ik een mentale ruimte waarin de vijf personages ronddolen en dromend weer thuiskomen.
Je kan je eigen audiotour beluisteren op www.thehouseinme.com. Begin met je cursor (of wijsvinger) bij een van de namen, en teken je route tot aan een van de slaapkamers. Bij elk kruispunt kan je afslaan. Er zitten bijna 50 verschillende routes in verstopt!
‘Ik woon niet meer in het huis, maar het huis woont nog in mij.’
AUTHENTIC IN ALL CAPS is a web audio adventure about the meaning of death. It draws audio drama, audio tours and alternate reality gaming. The use of audio is an attempt to create a sense of unity in a highly fragmented experience. I see the techniques and experience of audio tours as a way to bring disparate elements together. Just as an audio tour involves guiding a listener to different places, this audio experience guides players to different websites. I include both custom and existing sites, and so this project continues my interest in pervasive design: where the players’ world is part of the fictional world. The story is born out of the pain of suddenly losing my mother, and facing the meaninglessness of my life. I got past heaviness of the subject matter by drawing on my early days in sketch comedy theatre, unifying the disparate times of my life.
