Between 2009 and 2011, Invisible City produced three multimedia, literary-based walking audio tours. Each tour featured Bay Area authors, musicians, cartographers and artists. Heliography,  a tour of Oakland's Telegraph Ave., Armada of Golden Dreams, a tour of the buried ships beneath the Embarcadero in San Francisco, and Everywhere Man, a noir mystery that took place on San Francisco Trolly System. 

Whole Story was a series of live literary art shows curated by Watchword Press. Watchword Press would select a single submitted short story or poem.That single piece of writing was handed out to dozens of different local visual and performance artists. The artists reacted to the text by transforming gallery and theater spaces into life-sized, multi-media dioramas and performance installations, allowing attendees to physically walk through the narrative.
