Time spent alone is a series of interactive scenes conceptually linked through their being conceived in solitude and intended for display in the isolated social space of the internet. They are daydreams, worries and solitary trips.
Time Spent Alone launched with two scenes in October 2008. Currently, there are four scenes displayed on Time Spent Alone: I wish I could read faster, Destinations, Unravel, and Things left behind.
Site Structure
Time Spent Alone is navigated from the main page by clicking on the large thumbnails for each scene. Once in a scene, you should use your browser’s back button to return to the main page.
Most scenes are only one page deep. Destinations has multiple pages of depth to allow users to either browse or submit destinations.
The other scenes have a dropdown information bar that hides at the top of the page. That information bar contains a link back to the main site.

Technical Details
The main page of Time Spent Alone was built using html, css, and javascript. The different scenes within the project use different technologies, including Flash, Java, and PHP.
To get the most out of Time Spent Alone, I recommend using a modern browser with good javascript support, a recent version of the Flash Player (9.0.115 or higher), and support for Java applets. I use Firefox 3, and Safari 4 on a Mac with Flash Player 10.
