The digital and on demand version of the DaDaFest International 2022 presentation of MALPER by Rachel Parry

“MALPER” is currently an animated glitchy brain avatar, acting as a personified representation of my multi-neurodivergent storytelling. The current WIP chatbot, offers a weird and wonky web-based, interactive choice-driven, clickable experience. Resulting in a whimsical yet disastrous choice-driven experience. MALPER speech bubbles pop up at various speeds. Often getting distracted, too fast, loud, long-winded disjointed whimsical stories, tells bad jokes and over-shares, day-dreams, offers advice trying to connect with this visitor. Mimicking my lived-masked experiences. Reloading or continued playthroughs change the outcomes. Text wiggles in/out, descending into bombastic poetic rants, maps that smell, videos pop up, loops of noises build up. MALPER asks each visitor to perform actions of self-care and on the surface, a playful interactive experience, a typical virtual service-healthbot. An idea that evolved from random connections on how my great-grandmother has the same name as the first developed virtual assistant psychotherapy chat-bots: Eliza Parry.The faux-corporate logo on MALPER, alludes to critical questions around the commodification of care, mental health and disabilities. The illusion of choice, misused data, issues around diagnostics and prolonged exposure to microaggressions, misunderstandings of the spectrums and embracing my chaos.MALPER was assisted in code development by Creative Technologist Rachel Smith.
