Marching Backwards into the Future
Web game, 2024
Inspired by a passage in Marshall McLuhan's The Medium is the Massage, this interactive digital collage explores how internet era meaning-making mirrors ancient anxieties about technological change. Using The Death of Socrates as a backdrop, the experience invites users to uncover hidden, context-displaced references through playful interaction, evoking the overwhelming abundance of online content. Built in Scratch, the project uses animation, layering, and user-triggered effects to simulate a growing web of fragmented knowledge. The work reflects on how we move forward at digital speed - often without fully understanding the past.
