The Twilight Years
Grace Spee
The Twilight Years is a virtual reality otherworld, encouraging the player to travel via screen past the cracked, fading veneer of capitalism to an ethereal, dreamlike realm. The experience of teleporting via screen to another realm while we can only see each other through screens is a form of wish fulfillment, a commentary on our pandemic experiences. In this scene, the player may wander amongst dusty shelves, play music, and bring life to the otherwise dying mall.
