"juvenate: an interactive narrative" is an "interactive narrative featuring a series of intricately constructed hyper real images echoing the intense sensory perception experienced by the terminally ill.
The thread of one life is depicted in a series of emotionally rich moments that explore an ever-present duality of decay and rejuvenation.
The episodic structure imitates the disjunctive nature of memory, with many pathways and experiences available for you to try.
Juvenate challenges you to find the extraordinary in the everyday, in the comfortable repetitions that determine much of the pleasure in life; the warmth of sun on your face, the embrace of a child, the bounce of a ball against a red brick wall.
