Today’s guest is internet artist, Nolen Royalty. He's interested in getting strangers to interact over the internet in unusual ways and in pushing mundane technology to its limits. Projects of his include stranger video (a website that shows you live, silent video of a stranger's face until one of you blinks), One Million Checkboxes (a website with a million global checkboxes), and games that run inside Google Calendar, MacOS Finder, and your unclosed browser tabs. 

And he’s also created a game called Talk Paper Scissors, which is how we—by happenstance—connected.

In this conversation you’ll hear how Nolen brings strangers together for spontaneous joy on the Internet. You’ll better understand why Nolen prefers creating experiences that foster collaboration rather than competition, how building constraint facilitates participation, as well as the role multi-level storytelling plays in his work.

Also, you’ll hear an epic rock paper scissors showdown of monumental proportions to decide the ultimate Talk Paper Scissors champion….

I'm all about interesting projects with interesting people!
