Piece-ful Mind

Piece-ful Mind (2022) is a storytelling exploration of isolation, the ways in which we seek community, and our tangled existence with technology. Inspired by nostalgia, the use of early web 2.0 and 90’s aesthetics acts as a juxtaposition to our relationship with predictive algorithmic, content-driven information that continuously saturates our lives. Through the different artifacts, we follow a teenage character and her interactions with different worlds; the physical world (her bedroom), the digital world (screens), and her internal world, in the form of a visualized internet "rabbit hole". The final piece intends to convey a slice of her life that reflects a blurring of digital and physical realities. This project was created using a combination of Unity 3D, computer graphic art, and AI generated imagery using prompt engineering.
