Cyberpunk Purgatory

3d Animation

For Cyberpunk Purgatory, I was inspired by my lifelong love of the cyberpunk genre, specifically the book "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" by Phillip K Dick, “Neuromancer” and the film “Blade Runner.” I love the genre's focus on identity, and what it means to be human in a society that disregards the sanctity of life and experience in the pursuit of profit and power.​

Process

In the animation, the character (and the viewer) are trapped in at least three levels of screens, unable to escape the “loop.” I wanted to create an oppressive feeling, or many things crowding the screen, and to imitate the maximal nature of cyberpunk settings.
