You Were Somewhere Else Just Now, Weren't You?

IF GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE YOUR REALITY, WOULD YOU?

A Visual Novel by Janelle Agyemang

You Were Somewhere Else Just Now, Weren’t You? was a choose-your-own adventure style visual novel that invited the player to escape from a mundane life through the practice of reality-shifting. Players were advised to tread carefully, for as the line between realities became blurred, they would be forced to confront the consequences of rejecting the world around them.

GALLERY SETUP

The Cabinet of Curiosities

Hannah Goldschmidt

Welcome to the Cabinet of Curiosities! This installation is an immersive fantasy-styled magic shop conjured by the eyes of the child who, in the act of seeing, creates the world of magic, whimsy, and mystery. The goal of the shop is to summon the world of childhood imagination, turning make-believe,
superstition, and even innocent misunderstanding into works of wonder. Humanity casts their spells in the act of creation. The magic shop is meant to teach the visitor to find magic in the mundane, and even challenge the notion that there is such a thing as "mundanity". The world is bursting with spells to be cast, potions to be brewed, trinkets to be charmed, wonders to be worked, and magic to be made.
