Denial

revisit a new world: allow the city to fade away as the space around you takes the form of deities. description: hello, and welcome to my Story City project! for this project, I wanted to create some 'gods' that could possibly exist within the mythology of downtown Lincoln. aimed for younger kids who need something to do while their parents are at Fly Gym or to stretch their Zoom-tired legs, this work acts as a sample chapter of a larger story. route: 1. god-king, again. 2. eldest son. 3. youngest son. 4. the lovers. 5. the lesser. 6. god-king, finally. instructions: 1. follow the route of echoes listed above. 2. mind the other people near you; this area can become crowded at times, so watch out for yourself as well as others 3. try to line the exact position you're standing in up with the line of sight in the art of whichever echo you're in hot tips: 1. when standing in front of the 'ascent' sculpture, try to line yourself up with the plaque in the very front of the statue. 2. some goblins occasionally shift the table to the right of 'ascent'; be on alert for a table you have to track down. 3. when crossing the street from youngest son. to the lovers. + returning back to the god-king, please use the crosswalk!! 4. try standing on the opposite side of the 'ascent' sculpture a try during the second echo in that location. 5. enjoy!

As you walk past a local bar you initiate a transmission from the future that holds pertinent information about the future of the city... and the world. Will you listen? Or will you idly ignore like so many have done before?

Do you wish to uncover one of Lincoln's greatest, but most forgotten history? In 1982 one of the most mysterious bank heists occurred in Lincoln and hardly anyone knows of it. The group of robbers stole about 1.5 million dollars that is worth about 4 million dollars in 2020. The robbers were able to evade the police and seem to almost vanish out of thin air. The voice recording that you will hear is only a fraction of all the eyewitnesses in the original documentary that was about to be released in 1984 until it was mysteriously damaged. Fortunately, some of the audio was recovered, but all footage was destroyed. Throughout this experience I ask that you wear headphones or earbuds so that you may get the full experience. Here is the order I would ask of you to follow: 1) The First Ring 2) Deposit or Withdrawal 3) Alleyway Stranger 4) Delivery Interruption 5) Bus Stop Shenanigans Please be mindful of others who are trying to use the sidewalks as well and don't get hit by any cars!

Join us on a walk around a small part of the city of Lincoln. Lincoln has many little quirks that not a lot people know about. It’s all about having the right tour guide, one who can point out the charming wildlife (not rats I promise), and beautiful art pieces that reach a little too close to the sun.

You're a college student who’s listening to a conspiracy podcast about mysterious creatures, secret cults, and a sketchy organization called Cryptid Corp. in your city. Suddenly, you receive a voice message on your phone. Now, you must find a lost journal, solve cryptic messages, discover hidden secrets, and possibly, fight for your life.

You are the receiver of a "reverse time capsule," a glimpse into the future told through an audio recording in downtown Lincoln. The time capsule was curiously left unfinished- follow Agent 21 on her journey by following the Echoes in numerical order.

You play as a Lincoln Police Department Inspector in a murder case. •Listen to each tape chronologically and arrest the culprit. • Play this echo between Midnight and 5am.

Wake up! You're a worker bee, and it's time to do your job. Go out in search of flowers to collect some pollen. Maybe you'll find more bugs along the way! But be careful—not all bugs are friendly.  For this experience, it is recommended that you become familiar with cardinal directional cues. It is also recommended that you play this experience when flowers are still in bloom. If you need more specific directions, here is the route key: Lincoln Community Foundation Tower --> South Centennial Mall Greenspace --> North Centennial Mall Greenspace --> South End of Canfield Administration Building --> Love Library South Entrance Pathway --> Love Library or Madden Garden --> Emerging Media Arts Building
