Abstract
Voicemail is an everyday form of interactive narrative that structures my multimedia performance work, BirthData. This literary, theatrical work raises questions about interactivity in genres other than forms of computer gaming. It provides examples of ways to make a hierarchical logical structure more artistically complex, through a better understanding of levels of lag, and through the use of images, sounds and performative gestures that conceptually link disparate levels of the voicemail tree. In BirthData, the structure is the content.
