Mutant Nostalgia

THE INTERNET™ ::: i-0004

30 years ago the Internet did not publicly exist, yet today our lives are dominated by its presence. With one click away from searching anything that comes to our minds we can instantly reach the information desired.

The Internet impacts not only the way we archive information, but also the way we remember and process our own memories. The cartoons and toy commercials I used to watch on VHS tapes in my childhood are now easily accessible to browse on YouTube.

I enjoyed watching toys commercials from the 80s as much as the cartoon they preceded because of their simple yet entertaining plots, catchy jingles and dazzling visuals.

Comparing to nowadays fast-paced and forgettable ads, they had a considerable time, effort and a meaning put behind.

This project revives some of the loveliest memories of my childhood and contrasts them with today’s disposable commercials that annoyingly pop-up everywhere on the web.

Through The Eye Of Exobiology

THE INTERNET™ ::: i-0003

"Through The Eye Of Exobiology" was an interactive 360° panorama website and sound design piece inspired by the discovery of water on planet Mars in 2015. It explored a hypothetical idea of Mars exploration by humans, and encountering alien life. The website used NASA photos of Mars surfacce that were merged into a continuous landscape. A specially curated soundtrack/mix was created to play during the online visit to enhance and further the experience of a viewer. Its speed was then edited to match the sidereal day of Mars.

Future Oceans Dirge

THE INTERNET™ ::: i-0002

"Future Oceans Dirge" was an audio/visual piece curated and designed by Alan Karlik, consisting of a video, sound-sensitive LED light speakers, sea shells, white sand and a poster manifesto sealed in a DryCase waterproof case. By blurring the lines between reality and science fiction, the piece focused on the inevitable impact of the climate change, giving the viewer a glimpse of the world in which humanity was forced to live in underwater colonies. It was shown during the Making Progress show at London College of Communication (Monday 28 April – Thursday 1 May, 2014).
