Anita World Wide Web

2014. Web game. Collaborators: GJ Lee.

A game about the 1973 NASA experiments on the spiders Anita and Arabella in low earth orbit.

It uses live satellite imagery data pulled via the Google Maps API, located at the player’s position on Earth.

Play as Anita flying in low earth orbit, spinning a world-wide web over San Francisco, Portsmouth, Matrouh, Kabul, Lima, Perth, Kabul, or anywhere else on earth.

Just watch out for the birds.
