Storytelling with Code
summary
An immersive one‑person office called Temping uses a Rails app to schedule emails, Hue lights, hidden speakers and a laser printer that spits out portraits and life moments every time an Excel cell flips alive→deceased; an Arduino Nano controls the corporate phone and voicemail. The piece runs about 45–50 minutes, requires an operator for timing, premiered at Lincoln Center, and repeatedly produces strong reactions—many participants leave crying, so the system both works and shocks.
