[possession1981-moving]

"what began with the grand-scale Hollywood of the 1920s was ... the catastrophe if the derealization of the world."

Paul Virilio as quoted by Anne Friedberg in The Virtual Window: From Alberti to Microsoft

[possession1981-moving]

Virilio posits a new metaphysics: the screen is the locus of lost dimensions of space and technological transformations of time. It modifies our relation to space, a surface-mount for its "accellerated virtualization."

Many video games put the player at the heart of the design, whether to serve them or to test them.

This is not that kind of game.

Forge your own path, utterly lost and crushingly alone through the stark and unfeeling void. Experience a glacial two hour long audiovisual journey inspired by the minimalist opera compositions of Philip Glass, featuring NASA's Public Domain Voyager 1 Planet Songs.

In other words, prepare to be hypnotised.
