ABSTRACT
This presentation describes an approach to interface and experience design in which fact and fiction are mixed in multiple narrative modes. The Mirror That Changes is a Flash-based Web project that integrates fact and fiction, introspection and information in several simultaneous narratives of animated text, voiceover, ambient sound and moving image. Designed to explore issues of water and sustainability from the multiple perspectives of personal use and global resource, The Mirror merges extensive research on water use with a sensual evocation of water so that information and symbolism mesh within a minimalist envelope.
