“If I really could look out the electronic window of my living room in Boston and see the Alps, hear the cowbells, and smell the (digital) manure in summer, in a way I am very much in Switzerland” (Nicholas Negroponte, “The Post-Information Age”).

My final project for 3-D Computer Modeling responds to this quote. I found it telling of the dystopian escapism of digital spaces against today’s climate reality.

Using Maya, I created a speculative fiction scene of a digital window, a screen which can be hung on the wall. The design of the home is through retrofuturist lens, employing interior design styles of the 50s and 60s to contrast this emerging technology.
