A navigable red world offered as an alternate imaginary for the ontological fissure of the contemporary — 2020 lived as dream and nightmare at once. Made for 'Fissure', curated by Shaleen Wadhwana.

Lost in a Dreamscape — an astronaut adrift in a red world

An alternate imaginary

Lost in a Dreamscape is a navigable red world made for “Fissure”, curated by Shaleen Wadhwana. It responds to 2020 as a time experienced as both dream and nightmare, offering an alternate imaginary through an interactive environment.

Moving through the work

Built in cables.gl, the experience uses movement, changes of direction and interaction with objects to explore its world. The work appeared at Pollinator Virtual Nursery and Processing Community Day in Porto. Its camera and microphone inputs drive an audio-reactive camera; the project notes state that no image, audio or video is captured.
