Strange Rain turns the user’s mobile device or TV into a photorealistic skylight on a rainy day, with three modes that combine touch-driven play with music and interactive storytelling. Users tap to trigger brief individual thoughts from an unseen protagonist, and drag to trigger longer narratives of thought. The screen functions like a hand-held camera, shifting perspective as the user tilts the device or controller. Every touch triggers a melodic fragment, and every completion of the melody advances the main character’s emotional state. Over 500,000 downloads on the App Store.
Strange Rain was featured in a profile of my practice for the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.
