artist statement
Storyland is a randomly created web narrative.
Each line is constructed from a pool of possibilites, allowing each
reader a unique story. Storyland is a one-page website. It was created
with Javascript. Upon entry, the reader presses the 'Let me tell
you a story' button, and a story is created for that moment in time.
It is unlikely that any two stories would be identical.
Storyland exposes its narrative formula thus mirroring aspects of
contemporary cultural production: sampling, appropriation, hybrids,
stock content, design templates. It risks discontinuity and the
ridiculous providing opportunities for contemplation beyond the
entertainment factor.
Storyland will play from any Javascript-enabled Web browser. Elements
for each line in the story are randomly selected from a series of
arrays that hold Storyland elements.
