Anti-Gone

Realitys grip is loosened as Spyda and Lynxa explore a potentially constructed environment that shifts between dystopic future and constructed virtual present. Like a form of multistable perceptual phenomena Anti-Gone exists in ambiguity. Anti-Gone recalls videogames that attempt to replicate or perhaps replace reality. Often called virtual or synthetic worlds massively multiplayer online worlds offer an escape into another identity another life where there isnt a goal or final boss like most videogames. Similarly Anti-Gone is like Joyce with a joystick the experience and the language of this otherworld is the meaning.
