Accelerated Intimacy (2021)

Accelerated Intimacy is a digital interactive game creation of artwork that allows the visitor to immerse themselves within the intimate environment of the artwork with ominous music and voices in the background. The game is a re-created digital space which gives the visitor the feeling of being immersed in the gallery. The visitor is able to move through the exhibit and see the artist's pieces as if they were there in person.

Sometimes I (you) don’t dive hard enough (2021)

This is a game creation that gives the visitor the experience of an interactive journey by driving through a city of art plastered on buildings. The idea was to create a fun, virtual drive through a lively, colorful environment that takes its inspiration from the vapor wave internet aesthetic right down to the rumbling 80’s synth soundtrack.
