The CharliVerse
I create worlds to inhabit, where a thing happens.
The CharliVerse is a shared, evolving world. It holds people, companies, fashion houses, technologies, products, places and histories. Some of it is entirely fictional. Some of it becomes real: websites, Blender models, films, research and publications.
It is a world, not a portfolio. Things happen here whether or not anyone announces them.
Three ways in
- Read a story: Come and Get Me, at Blind Ant. A blind woman, a self-driving car, thirty metres of unmapped gravel and a friend with a guide dog.
- Meet the people: Lucy Love-Child, Big Charli and dice, then everyone else in CharliPedia.
- Explore accessible AI: Training, with the TAVIP Masterclass: Agentic Accessibility and information about the archived Confident with AI course. This part is real.
Where the work lives
Each name runs its own place.
- Carrados is Charli-Jo's: the Tyrer Framework, and The Blind AI, their blog on AI and blindness, written with their personas dice, Lucy Love-Child, Madison McDonnell and Down the Banksy. It makes claims about reality, and it is accountable for them.
- Blind Ant is run by Charlotte Joanne: speculative worlds, stories, games, artworks and working objects, and the story of how each one was made.
In the world
The CharliVerse is home to fashion houses such as Iceberg Hosiery, Seamiotics (every seam means something) and LULU TOM, and to the people who move between its stories. Some of them are personas, who write as themselves; others are characters, who live in the stories. Their records are kept in CharliPedia, the memory of the CharliVerse.
Charli-Jo
Charli-Jo Tyrer makes the CharliVerse. Their own philosophy is in Perspectives, and their real-world work, including training, lives here too, labelled as real. If you'd like to support their work, they're on Patreon.
