GREETINGS,
My name is Isaque Picão Sanches.
I’m an interaction artist and a professional game developer.
I believe that interactive media will define the XXI century.
In my opinion, that’s a good thing.
A story that adapts itself to its audience is, in a way, a celebration of subjectivity and plurality. We could argue, therefore, that interaction is the most Humanistic artform there is.
