i published a tiny new(ish) game, a two-player activation of found objects. this concept has been through a few iterations, the latest adapted from a teaching tool i created for an undergraduate design course this past fall, that i'm now making available to all

This Taper issue is themed around the idea of midpoints and intersections, and other associations of the number 15. My second piece in the issue (again, under 2Kb!) is a Tarot Card reading in which the Devil card is repeatedly drawn and increasingly corrupted.

Taper #15 is out. Each issue contains tiny computational poems centered around a theme. The complete code must be under 2Kb. One of my pieces in the issue is an interactive erasure of Shakespeare's Sonnet 15, in which only half the poem can ever be visible at once.
