Description
After closing the door, and securing dinner, with great effort, you shuffled through the contents of your bag to confirm the presence of your belongings after your tumultuous journey. An odd, smooth shape introduces itself to your fingertips. What you withdraw has no visible seams nor identifying marks--save, that is, those on the paper disks that fell out as you examined the foreign object.
On each notched disk, two lines of text: A unique title, enclosed in quotes, and dis-unique to the lot, the word "THETISCOPE" in block print.
You found that each disk, when loaded into the device, "shifted" your perspective somewhat, in a way you found difficult to describe. Worse, words failed others who witnessed its use--and these lacking external descriptions were as dissimilar to your internal experience as they were incomprehensible.
A disquiet now rises when you think of the Thetiscope. Yet, each attempt to discard it is resisted in equal measure by some fathomless complex of your own interiority. What you can, and do, instead, is record what you may of the disks.
Mod Features
Occipital Metonymy was created during ModFest: ToyBox, following the theme "Make one toy." The toy in question is the Thetiscope, a Viewmaster-like artifact of unknown provenance. The behavior of your Thetiscope varies depending on what disk you load into it. Learning exactly what they do is a puzzle; Try and experiment!- "Image Projected in Image" shows me to something I have already seen. I find myself moved.
- "Physicalize Body Without Organs" takes me to a place where I am without friends. But my friends refuse to be without me.
- "Draw, O Coward!" lets me play Minecraft the way god intended.
- "Never Odd or Even" inverts what is "normal".
- "Pseudologic Fantasia" offsets everything by one. Paradoxically, while some things are lost, some things are gained.
- "The Betrayal" gives cause to reconsider the nature of "Image".

Gallery Piece Artist's Statement: In spite of, or perhaps due to our time apart, the moon linked our wombs across the churning distance. Its tides ebbed and flowed as we did, them unconscious of it, me jealously wishing the same. -
Artificial Harmony Artist's Statement: Going to the grocery store with my mother was an exercise in patience. I spent many hours on the display couches watching display DVDs on the display televisions. The couches remained on display long after they stopped selling them. -
Figure 3 Artist's Statement: I overheard a story just before midnight at the airport: a man holding a stranger in rapt adulation. I couldn't help but smile at the punchline, savoring the strange guilt of eavesdropping on a public intimation. He didn't notice.
