This targetted commission for the Future Physical website supports the development of scribble_Man (as seen in the gallery) into a fully responsive web being who performs various everyday functions within the virtual space, such as walk, think, consume or make a cup of tea.

As an everyday person, scribble_Man brings the everyday into the virtual world. Everyday tasks become like games, while games become the everyday world. scribble_Man will develop new abilities over time and will be available in online form and/or as a set of limited edition downloadable screen savers. The longer term aim is to create a 3D interactive animated shockwave version of scribble_Man which users can download and play with on their desktop or on the web.
