<p><em class="ally-font">ally</em> is an ergodic, arborescent, semiautobiographical work about identity, mental health, spirituality, and the mutability of the past. A lot of the information contained within is real, some of it isn’t. Each page is structured as a conversation between myself and my ally, a mirror reflection of myself.</p>
|
||
<p><em class="ally-font">ally.id</em> and the <a href="/book.html">book</a> explore different facets of my life — some true, some embellished, some wholly fictitious — in a non-linear, ergodic fashion, using color, page-layout, and mixed-media to create a book more experience than memoir.</p>

<p>The idea was originally cribbed from Dale Pendell’s wonderful <em>Pharmako/*</em> trilogy back in my late teens, but has since taken on a life of its own. Other inspirations are Mark Z. Danielewski’s <em><span style="color: blue">House</span> of Leaves</em> and J. J. Abrams and Doug Dorst’s <em>S</em> for both their ergodic elements and the underlying autobiographical elements. On the hypertextual side, projects such as the old <a href="http://fray.com/index-old.shtml">Fray</a> (notably the story <a href="https://fray.com/drugs/worm/">The Worm Within</a>) and <a href="https://nobodyhere.com">Nobody Here</a>. Bonus points to <a href="http://www.ouverture-facile.com/">Ouverture Facile</a> and the ilk for getting me thinking about online projects, even if this one isn’t so riddly yet.</p>
