“L.A. Flood” is a locative media experience about a fictional flood hitting Los Angeles in three stages over the course of several days.  Timed to simulate the devastating effects of a real flood, “L.A. Flood” plays out in fictional first-person narrations—many of them audio recorded—and geolocated to exact spots. Anyone can participate in the Twitterfiction that plays out simultaneously in real time by tagging tweets #LAFlood. Most recent installations include one for the L.A. Times Festival of Books (May 2011) and one for a Visions and Voices event at the University of Southern California (Oct. 2011).
