Every now and again, a powerful exhibition leaves a genuinley disturbing impression on me. Some aspects of these experiences may have creeped their way into White Cube Inside Out—an expressionist art space sim developed in Unity and a result of a one-week workshop with Dutch artist and theorist @_menkman. In the game, the visitor enters a virtual glitch gallery and can wander around freely. WCIO explores potentials of software glitches as artistic and communicative tools, bridging the gap between artist and audience by offering unpredictability and levelling power relations.

The user, degraded to a mere observer, plunges through a virtual library, unable to apprehend the information hidden away behind impenetrable bars. After a few moments of wonder, they become painfully aware of the limitations of their experience. As We May Forget has been designed as a cyberspace dystopia, a cautionary tale of a broken, post-neutral Internet and was inspired by Jorge Luis #Borges' "The Library of Babel".
During the original exhibition in Stuttgart at @NM_MerzAkademie, visitors stood in front of a large stereo 3D display, which was mounted in a cramped, darkened box to further amplify the sense of initimidation and constriction.
