Memecom gateway: A Literary Opera

The Memecom Gateway is a multi media drama, fundamentally a musical and literary journey and is therefore best described as an Opera based, not on the stage, but within the computer.

Overview: R.I.P.j.rand0m.hack3r

This project, essentially, is an entertaining and artistic environment using many different media. It takes the form of a multi media CD-ROM containing interactive software that creates a non-linear narrative experience with the story depth of a novel; something that can stand alone as an entertaining story yet remains rich with symbolism and metaphor.

Development of the Acoustic Experience

Whilst the programming of the main sections was being completed and corrected, my focus was in the realm of the story structure and user navigation.

Incorporation of Themes, Context and Subtext

The Memecom Gateway is mimicking a computer desktop, yet even when viewing the source code for this simulation operating system the overall story is still represented.

Development of Narrative Backbone

I began to organise a story to act as a background for the narrative experience of the Memecom Gateway.

Development of Ideas: Concepts

The use of biometrics would provide a means for the absolute tracking of a populaces actions.

Development of Ideas: Trade

I have worked for a large IT company for a number of years and in the course of designing for the Marketing Division I came across a great deal of information concerning e-commerce, viral marketing, information collection and computer security.

The Use of Memecode as an Operating System

After beginning the Memecode project and its application in the field of translation, I realised that I had a structure upon which I could hang many different ideas.

The Creation of Memecode

During a normal day of printing a document from my PC, as happens from time to time I made a mistake. One of the settings had been altered from their usual state and instead of a page of my text, the printer spat out a long string of printer code.
