AUTHOR is a participatory video installation that invites each visitor to interact with the 15 performers through a text-based computer game. Forming a poetically mediated stream-of-conscious between visitors and the text and video recordings generated by the project’s 15 performers, visitors navigate their relationship to the performers' language and images on the topics of performing, representation and casting. Resulting in strangely on-point, absurd exchanges, or non-sensical random connections, the algorithm of the game invites the author to discover their own voice inside the machine, to construct their own meaning in "conversation" with the personal material of 15 performers.
