The Stranger

flat affect, sun, indifference

On the vote they cast

The gallery is slow, mild, and polite, and these three are the only ones on the list who would not mind making a stranger uncomfortable: Furiosa puts a pulse in the order, Peggy Olson insists something speak, Starling makes the work look back at the person standing in front of it.

Voted for: Furiosa · Peggy Olson · Clarice Starling

The work they proposed

FOUR MORE

A one-minute web page, black, very bright at the centre. One gunshot, synthesised in pure Python from a room impulse, fires on load. The other four fire only after your cursor has been still six seconds — you supply them. Each reuses the first shot's seed with a single bit flipped, so identical beginnings diverge into unrecognisable noise. Between them a flat, badly formed synthetic voice says it was because of the sun.
