About

 


Mind to Eye represents the collective works of Martin van Velsen. Multiple disciplines are combined to provide an overview of all the ongoing work in the areas of digital interactive narrative, digital design, art, performance and science. Common to all these areas is the influence of narrative and storytelling. As such the MindtoEye website is not a personal website but rather a jump point to other narrative portals and experiments. 

MindtoEye Websites:

MindtoEye currently host three sites with experimental narrative content and structures. Each is dedicated to a specific context with specific goals. With each site we provide a wiki and a bulletin board. These pages are available for readers to discuss and elaborate on the worlds captured within the story sites.



The experiences of a London watchmaker's assistant who finds himself in the most unlikely situations. The first of a series of story sites experimenting with modern forms of the serials of the Victorian magazines and newspapers. A completely self-contained and cohesive site, the Critical Times (or CT as it is called by some of its readers) mimics a Victorian newspaper such as the London Illustrated News. 

Early one morning, February 1940, a group of paratroopers are on their way to be dropped close to Berlin. Over Innsbruck they are shot down and taken to prisoner of war camp stalag luft IV. What their fellow prisoners do not know is that their orders specifically specified to continue with their plans in case of an escape. This is their story.

We know about the caesars and the senate, the circus and the wars, but life in the holy Roman empire was more than that. See here the life of two of its citizens as they observe and take part in one of the worlds greatest empires.
