WHY:

Experimental fiction

Non-linear storytelling

Visually dynamic

Subversive topics

Themes of death

I guess this comes as no surprise to anybody, but I’m not a strong believer in linear narrative, alluring as it might seem. Linearity teaches us through its structure that life is an interlocking whole that moves uniformly and comprehensibly from beginning to end. But my sense of being alive is very nearly the opposite.

According to a Berkeley study, a person touches his or her face on average 16 times an hour. Perhaps, I'm guessing, to make sure it's still there.
