Philadelphia Fullerine is a geodesic narrative montage showing people, events, and themes of ethnic life in mid-19th century Philadelphia. Each face, which presents an image from Philadelphia history, has a corresponding audio narrative. The stories and ideas of adjacent faces are related, and may be followed to explore connected narratives.

A multidisciplinary project, Philadelphia Fullerine brought together my skills in sculpture, engineering, hypertext history research, writing, performance, and recording.

Philadelphia Fullerine exists as:

• A handcrafted, rotating geodesic sphere & digital exhibit (project site)
• A folding, portable edition of the exhibit (reviewed by Nick Montfort on Grand Text Auto)
• A Video + Audio Multimedia DVD for computers (screenshot here)
• A linear narrative submitted as my senior thesis in the English Department at Elizabethtown College

Awards & news of note:

• Exhibited at the National Collegiate Honors Conference, New Orleans IL. 2004
• Exhibited at the ACM Hypertext Conference, Salzburg Austria, 2005.
• Winner of "Best of Show" award at the Elizabethtown College Student Art Show, 2005
