Touch & Go
2011
Animation, Interaction Design, Storytelling
A site-specific installation following the misadventures brought to life by the characters from airport signage.
  • Touch & Go

    Touch and Go: The Interactive Guide to Perambulatory Anomalies is an interactive animated narrative that explores the secret life of our hero as he emerges from his static state in the international picture language from which he was born. This nod to the screwball era of silent film animates the deadpan character throughout his random encounters with the hazards and pitfalls of his flatland existence. 

    Created in collaboration with David Clark, Nick Rudnicki and Shelley Simmons. Touch and Go was one of five projects that were part of Year Zero One’s site-specific digital art exhibition Terminal01, which ran from July 1, 2007 to May 5, 2008 in Toronto’s Pearson International Airport.
