"Endgame: A Cold War Story" -- for the web and Flash enabled touch screen devices (DROID) -- is a puzzle whose pieces are culled from an archive of long forgotten propaganda. In it a story about art, exile and history takes shape from the fragmentary remains of one woman's life. "Endgame: A Cold War Story" is a 2011 commission of New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc. for its Turbulence website. It was made possible with funding from the Jerome Foundation.
