18 Cadence is an iPad storymaking platform that lets its readers explore the history of a house through the hundred years of the twentieth century. Moving through space and time, a reader encounters hundreds of events, characters, and objects. Each piece is not static text but a movable, dynamic fragment that can be repositioned, merged, expanded, or reconsidered. Like magnetic fridge poetry for narrative, 18 Cadence lets its readers manipulate the pieces of a story with their fingers, and invites them to assemble their own history from the raw material of a century of living.
18 Cadence was selected by Kirkus Reviews as a Best Book App of 2013, and received an Honorable Mention in the Nuovo category at the 2014 IGF Awards.
18 Cadence is available for iPad and browsers.
