We are physically sensing a landscape in South Eastern Massachusetts and capturing and connecting streams of live data to an immersive experience online. What stories will emerge from the landscape? Users will be able to explore, discover, and understand the evolving eco-system. Users will be able to share their experiences; experiences are captured as storied paths and shared with scientists and other inquisitive minds.

Sidewalks are common, paved paths where humans can walk from point A to point B. On Commonwealth Avenue in Boston, the culture of walking from the East side of campus to the West side of campus is a sight not to miss. Hundreds of people traverse with destination-intention: students go to class; friends meet up for lunch; an individual goes on a leisurely walk. Could the sidewalk tell us what it experiences everyday? Could it express an abstraction of it's story to show how humans are integral and connected to time and space, past and future?

How do you chain events to push a story forward? A chain of events can cause an ambience of dramatic affairs in a story. In this piece a participant contributes different narrative states into the story stream. The profiled participant is then immersed into the life of a community block. By physically relocating the blocks in relation to other neighbors, audiences witness histrionic displays of temperament amongst neighbors on the Block.
