The Qi Project

"The Qi Project" "pulls the reader into the work in every sense. Whether one starts by reading the insights others have shared on humanity or by listening to the interviews, which reveal a vast range of thoughts on the subject, one will find riveting and captivating ideas. Ostensibly, participating in 'The Qi Project' as a reader is an experience in relinquishing oneself to the work on the screen. The prompt to 'look' could as easily be a prompt to 'feel', 'focus', or 'meditate'. The graphics pulse and the reader is given a slow, calming rhythm to match as she focuses on the serene center of the project. I mirrored the pulse with my own breath, which unavoidably made me think more deeply about others' ideas. Finally, with the prompt to 'WRITE,' 'The Qi Project' invites the reader to jump in and participate by becoming a co-author in this sensorial experience. Wylde's work let’s you see, hear, and feel her subject. In the Qi Project we engage digital writing as a tree bearing the fruit of diverse media. Taste it." -- From The New River Journal
