"Since 1995, Mez Breeze's award-winning digital writing and games have been influential in shaping interactive genres. Andy Campbell is the Director of Digital Media for One to One Development Trust, a UK arts/media charity whose pioneering digital fiction project Dreaming Methods has been online since 1999."
"Built in Adobe Flash, Andy Campbell and Mez Breeze's explorable poem The Dead Tower stands as an unusual application of the engine. In the tradition of literary games by artists like David 'Jhave' Johnston and the collaborative duo Tale of Tales whose rich textual descriptions hover within 3D virtual environments, The Dead Tower invites the player to travel deeper into the space and discover the perfect perspective for reading the rotating and elusive scraps of text. Throughout, fragments of sound haunt the landscape and the surreal architecture begins with the site of a bus crash that pulls the players towards the mysterious tower itself. The aesthetics of The Dead Tower are built on the remarkable fusion of a commercial 3D game experience with electronic poetry." -- from Electronic Literature Collection, Volume 3
