Inspired by Robert Ashley's multimedia operas, Issho Kenmai is a web-based digital narrative based on the diaries of the late Maura O'Halloran, a Dubliner who became known in Japan as Zen Buddhist saint 'Soshin'. The piece incorporates core interests including nonlinear storytelling, new media art and social transgression.
