These Pages Fall Like Ash

Abba, Tom; Speakman, Duncan; Gaiman, Neil; Harkaway, Nick

Abstract

The work comprises an original fiction by Tom Abba and Circumstance, with input from writers Neil Gaiman and Nick Harkaway. Twin cities, one imagined as parallel to another, real site, each possess distinct rules and cultures, details of which are presented as a form of gazetteer in an exquisite, hand-bound book which was provided as a guide for users (the book contained two smaller volumes - one for each city). The story wove between the two cities and invited readers to visit specific areas of the city in sequence, making use of physical space, and demanding that each reader walked their locale while looking, while reading and reflecting. Over a three week period 200 participants unlocked fragments of digital story, which were delivered via wifi to their mobile phones.
