Come, Human, spin in my Web! – A ride thru an A.I.’s persona
An A.I. sends an invitation out to Humans to visit the “web”. If they take up the invite, they adventure into either the “Cerebral Cathedral” or the ” Feral Forest”. Eventually they arrive at one of four possible endings having altered their own “data structure” or the environment.
Temple of the Goddesses – A virtual sacred space.
As the visitor moves thru the shrine complex they are engaged in various episodes (depending on the visitors response ) by goddesses Venus, Nemesis, the Psychedelic Cyber Pagan, etc. There are four possible endings with numerous episodes along the way.
The Phosphorescent Samurai and the Geisha Snail– A surrealistic fable
Two inter-species mutants start on their ‘hero’s journey’ and, depending on choices made by the viewer along the way, are transformed accordingly. There is a final revelation unique to each of the eight possible endings.

Phillip Sossou, 18, drew portraits of every member of the class of 2016. He hung all 411 pictures in the hallways of his school as his classmates were getting ready to say goodbye, The Boston Globe reported.
His motive was to reunite the Class after several complaints about racism were placed against the faculty. He wanted everyone in his class to realize that while each was unique they all were special. “Our class has been kind of divided,” said Sossou. “Having these pictures helps us to embrace our diversity.”
Young artist, Phillip Sossou (18) brings students together with his gift of art.
Phillip Sossou has been accepted by Bunker Hill Community College and plans to attend University of Massachusetts at Amherst in the future. I suspect we will see much more art created by this amazing young man in the future. Full Article
