Case file // THE 94VERSE
This website: six experimental worlds arranged around an impossible ring, with SUBJECT 94 as the guide.
- Discipline
- Interactive web experience
- Scope
- Art direction, real-time 3D world, character, interaction design, content system and contact system.
- Artifact form
- Transparent mechanical cube
Objective
Turn the studio's website into a working piece of its own portfolio: an interactive artwork that is still a complete, usable business site.
Creative process
Three directions were explored before a line of code: a concrete shaft you descend floor by floor, a paper universe of folded sketchbook pages, and a junk galaxy orbiting a gravitational 94.
The build synthesises them. From the galaxy: one persistent space you explore instead of pages you load. From the paper universe: spray paint, print grain and hand marks. From the shaft: monumental typography used as architecture. Then all of it is bent into a ring, so travelling between worlds rolls the floor up into the ceiling.
Deliverables
- Persistent 3D ring world with six stations
- Real-time SUBJECT 94 with eye tracking, expressions and poses
- Interactive service machines
- Playable experiments
- Working contact transmission
- 2D and reduced-motion versions
Where is it?
You are standing in it. Every station of the ring, every machine and toy, and SUBJECT 94 himself are part of this one project.
