"Chroma" by Erik Loyer

February 19, 2012
This narrative poem in 6 chapters is impressive in its ability to immerse its readers in interactive virtual environments that encourage play. The prosy narrative voices tell a story of three characters that keep going deeper into a mythical virtual space while one performs the text. Each chapter produces a new experience that integrates music, poetry, animation, and an interactive interface that rewards experimentation and curiosity with a highly aesthetic experience. The narrative itself is unchanging, fascinating, incomplete… and worth exploring further.
