Do an account of what the ‘event’ to which your work portends?
The event occurs a decade or so in the future, where technology is an even bigger impact on our lives than ever before. It’s neither all positive or negative, but it is simply a different lifestyle. Everyone uses ‘smart iris’ in place of phones or tablets, placing the screens on a contact lens to encompass everything they interact with. Our work portends to an event in this future, where all technological communications and devices become obsolete due to an interference in the signals. Our work is an account of an individual’s day during this interference and how the event impacts them and the world.
How will you make it unusual/interesting?
We wanted to create an interesting video, with props and animation to make it seem to be set in a future of technological advancement. However, to make it more interesting we wanted the viewer to be able to interact with the piece. This incited the idea to create an amalgamation of video, visual novel, and choice-based gameplay. We aim to create a video with several questions for the audience to choose from, which may or may not affect the outcome of the scene and the entire play-through of events.
