Collective Narrative Week 2: A Tale of Two Flâneurs

A Tale of Two Flâneurs is a mobile narrative experience that lets you eavesdrop on the conversation between two pseudo-intellectual friends with a bit too much time on their hands. They follow the user around, making judgments and exchanging sophistries related to the current location. Their conversations are generated by the following process:

1. Start from a random Yelp review about the current location.

2. Respond with a famous quote containing similar terms to the review.

3. Respond with a famous quote containing similar terms to the previous quote.

4. Repeat 3 forever until the user visits a new location.
