"The uNdo Ep.1"

Who would ever want to keep a record of each time you used Ctrl+Z ?

Sci-fi surfing the edgewave of IA distopics. Join the resistánce in the journey to hack a safeway for future prompts.

Inspired in Adolfo Bioy Casares, Elsa Bornemann, Phillip K. Dick, Harlan Ellison, and many other writers.

Realizing that I did the #introduction informally, so let's try again:

I'm a nonbinary #transmedia storyteller, musician, writer, web designer and PhD researcher.

My passion project is the #ARG - #elit - #InteractiveFiction crossover work Under the Surface, which utilizes what appears to be a musician's webpage to tell a story through a variety of media. It includes opportunities to dig deeper and exhume additional layers of content both by snooping around and by solving puzzles and explores #mentalhealth themes in a sensitive manner. You'll find it at axel-lunden.com

I also curate queer-immersives.info, which catalogues #unfiction, alternate reality games, #VisualNovels and electronic literature by queer creators.

My PhD research is on mental health and tech policy and I'm an American based in Oslo, Norway. I may occasionally post in a Scandinavian language. You are forewarned.

I really love to meet other transmedia creators as well as writers, #gamedev and #NarrativeDesign folk here!

www.axel-lunden.comWho in the Hell is Axel Lundén?Axel Lundén is a Swedish/American indie folk artist. Apart from his solo career, he is perhaps best known for his tenure with the indie rock band Nauru from 1999-2009.

Not so long ago Wren Rainer Dalton of Univerity of Wisconsin at Madison's Serious Play collective wrote this excellent blog on my project Under the Surface and uses it to explain how limiting the use of the term #liminality has become in populat culture by expanding on it in their analysis here:

Also, if you're wondering how a project can be an #ARG (alternate reality game), #elit, #unfiction and #interactivefiction all at the same time, this gives a fairly good explanation of why all 4 genres are a good fit.

Anyway, I love Wren's synopsis, give it a look if you're at all curious about what I'm up to!

The UWM Digital Cultures Collaboratory · Ludic Reviews : Under the SurfaceThere’s this brilliant alternate reality game (ARG) on the scene that’s drawing on the traditions of e-literature and narratively inclined Indie games called Under the Surface.

Towards a Taxonomy of Twitter Tropes

If you hang around on a social network long enough, you'll find the same tropes being repeated again and again. So, I thought I'd document some of the ones that I personally find annoying. This blog post is an extension of my moderately popular Twitter thread - with a bit more detail about why they are irritating.
