Isaque Sanches

GREETINGS, STRANGER

Most people call me Isaque Sanches. But why should you follow them?
Who are they, even, and why do they get to make the rules?
Be creative! Be weird! Call me anything. Like ‘Bob’.

I believe that encouraging subjectivity in media is both a celebration of plurality and individuality; and therefore that interactivity is the most Humanistic artform that ever was.

It’s okay — I can sound a bit pretentious sometimes. You should try it too.

I’m an interaction artist / game designer.
