Created and presented by digital storyteller and game designer Mel Frances, this video accompanies Modern Art Oxford’s digital participatory artwork, branch (10 February - 13 March).
branch is a digital, participatory artwork inviting creative storytelling and shared imagining about what might come next. branch is set inside a forest of multiple possibilities, inviting explorers to write a story, or delve into those written by others. Fusing game design, interactive storytelling, speculative fiction and citizen science, branch was created by Mel Frances in collaboration with a group of nine Creative Consultants: Laura Aris, Taniya Batra, Divjot Kaur, Phantom Lovewell (they/them), Matthew Elliot Pitfield, J Ponte, Vaishnavi Singh, Luke St Clair, Vaishna Surjid.
