“In Search of
Productive Friction”
Machinima
"In search of productive friction", imagines the internal monologue
of the Pyramid Ledges' playable and slightly smoother, digital double and
how it finds joyous friction in new ways through its recurring
encounters with a peculiar visitor.
The machinima video essay, shot in SkaterXL using KoanNYC's
Pyramid Ledges map, presents playful exploration as a form
of urban maintenance and care.
