The Station

Internet Art

2020

The Station is an interactive net art piece that takes place after the end of the world in a space station.  The Station is based off of the Myth of Sisyphus and ties into the idea of nostalgia as a weapon of ideology.  Two A.I. Sabrina and Alex accompany the viewer through the space station.  There are 43 rooms in total, all designed off of nostalgia of various ages including the future’s nostalgia, with sound design to reinforce those ideas.
