The speed, position and direction of the user’s mouse movements are turned into an textual-musical-visual poetry performance.

Story Problem is an interactive “instrument” enabling users to perform text, image and melody inspired by the cadences of a poem by Terri Ford.

The speed, position and direction of the user’s mouse movements are turned into an textual-musical-visual poetry performance.
The naturally expressive motions of the user become grounds for play, experimentation and performance.
