The Gilded
This is an experimental piece investigating the potential of website as a storytelling platform (simulated using Powerpoint). The story of seven distinct characters’ interactions, told over the course of five days in turn-of-the-century Manhattan, “The Gilded” explores the effects of chronology, perspective, and place on narrative. Enjoy as I walk you through the site’s interactive features, which allow you to toggle through the five days, seven characters, and endless locations of the story.
