ROOT (Running Out Of Time) - In Development

XR Art Fair: projects

Information

This is an episodic VR/TV series (in development) about how humans ALMOST went extinct thanks to our desire to live forever and how a digital woman in a mechanical body, a chef who rejects that digital afterlife, and both of their families work together to rebuild the world.
Thematics
We are facing a climate crisis but there is still hope. We can still act, still change. ROOT drops you directly into Earth’s climate-changed future by dropping you into 3D environments where you can explore the world, interact with characters, and watch the IMAX-sized video stories of how humans narrowly survived this apocalypse in an unexpected way: by working together. When we see that there is an end of the world scenario that we can survive by working together, we will discover how our actions make a difference. This is not naïve. Collaboration is how we make it through.
