Abstract:
‘The Inclination Compass’ is an interactive artwork where audiences use hand gestures to control a digital image of a rotating compass. As the compass turns it samples a random selection of 23 lines from the book of the same name, The Inclination Compass. This artwork is the culmination of the narrative within the book and a way that audiences continue to ‘write/rewrite’ the narrative by creating their own ‘cut’ of the story. The artwork and the book are examples of transmedia storytelling.
