Tactical Nomadic Storytelling is an art project that combines live storytelling and props with mobile digital media (visual and audio). I have created a mobile storytelling projection unit and a series of short stories that combine video/animation, audio, mobile devices and live performance. These digital live art experiences are designed to be performed strategically and spontaneously at tram stops, train stations, corners, alleys, bathrooms - virtually any spot on the street or any unexpected place around a town or city.
