"Mez Breeze is simply the most amazingly talented writer!"
Mez Breeze has been creating an eclectic array of digital fiction, books, VR and AI experiences, games, and experimental storytelling since the mid-1990s. Best known for developing the code poetry language Mezangelle, Mez's genre-defying work often dodges neat categorization, continually challenging traditional aspects of the games/literature/arts and spatial computing industries.
Mez delights in playing with the elasticity of form[at]s while infusing her work with critical social commentary, addressing the complexities of political and societal frameworks, the climate crisis, institutionalised power dynamics, and the fundamental importance of empathy and pedagogy. In November 2019, Mez's VR/3D Microstory Series 'V[R]ignettes' won the Queensland Literary Awards Digital Literature Prize, then the "…world's richest digital literacy prize." Other notable award-winning projects include the VR adventure 'Perpetual Nomads', the time-bending game 'All the Delicate Duplicates', and the AI book 'Por]TrAIts: AI Characters + Their Microstories'.
Mez's influence extends beyond her creative work[s]: she is a committed educator, theorist, archivist, and literary judge who actively promotes the advancement of digital literature and art. Her works are taught worldwide and are housed in collections including The World Bank, Cornell's Rose Goldsen Archive, and the National Library of Australia.
