Unnatural - of humus and artifact
Interactive fiction 2023
In a natural environment without any artificial infrastructure, and apparently uninhabited by the human species, an encounter takes place with an enigmatic character, who will turn out to belong to a hypertechnological human society inhabiting the Earth in a way unknown until then. Unnatural - of humus and artifact is an interactive point-and-click narrative device that invites us to project ourselves into a human society in which the development of technical and spiritual knowledge has created a world of virtual artefacts with no change to the natural environment. This project attempts to imagine a technologically augmented humanity with a view to shared knowledge, spirituality and hyper-connection with the living world. With the support of OULU AIR (Finland)
