A Unique Collection of Immersive Storytelling Experiences

Culture On Demand is a creation of artist Eric Cade Schoenborn.

Inspired by the oral storytelling tradition, these experiences are influenced by the backroads, backwoods, backrooms, back-alleys and backyards of the world. My process normally begins by leaving the studio with a camera, mic and laptop and venturing into the serendipitous wilds, purposefully veering from the common sense of guidebooks, beaten paths and mainstream destinations. The media, inspirations and stories I collect during these adventures are blended to joyfully remix the physical environment and create shared experiences which ignite wanderlust and provide a sense of adventure for those who leisurely wander through the story worlds of I create.

explore, collect media everywhere
Each project is a result of media, ideas and development in HTML5 and javascript, often using WebGL, THREE.js. WebRTC and countless other adnvanced browser technologies and libraries. As a result these storytelling toys are sometimes made to power installations and may not always work great on your phone, or may load slow as heck if you have an older machine.
