Here I am, it’s later and now I’m talking about the project that I am using to procrastinate<\/s> learn how to make cutscenes and dialogue to be able to finish my first game project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A lot of my previous work has been looking to the future with a bit of a dystopian perspective, just because that’s what’s seemed to be the most likely outcomes to the things I’ve been paying attention to. In my work with diasporic futurisms<\/a> we’ve always been focused on a more optimistic and hopeful outlook to the future, so for this next project I thought I’d try to be a bit more optimistic. This is where I started anyway but the horrors crept in nonetheless. DEEP SLEEP is a VR interactive film (sort of like a choose your own adventure) where you are playing as your future self in a world where humans have come to terms with the fact that the environment is ruined beyond human intervention (see? optimistic, right?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n This work started as a 360 video installation that was initially installed at InterAccess<\/a> in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
