Created by Andy Campbell and Judi Alston - and commissioned for the online exhibition Vagus: Year Zero One - Clearance is inspired by British stone carver Billy Johnson who, in 2007, left a series of stone heads outside houses and public locations across the North of England, sparking a bizarre international news story.

Clearance presents the user/reader with a series of barren landscapes that are devoid of people but littered with remnants of narratives from an unexplained apocalyptic event. Clearance is part of the Digital Fiction Curios project - a unique archive of Flash-based electronic literature for PC and VR.
