before making

A hand wakes a cursor; a line draws a figure who keeps stepping out of her own spotlight until she finds what is drawing her.

after making

She tries on every look, becomes many, draws a door into a town, passes on a move, watches it flatten everyone, and is breathed back by the people she gave it to.

media description

No speech. A continuous Canvas drawing and synthesized score follow a line into a figure. She tries on forms, multiplies, enters a town and shares a movement. The movement spreads, flattens the crowd, and returns changed by the people who received it. At the end, the page offers controls to preview a new body, look, colour and movement. Shared saving is unavailable in this standalone edition.
