About
The portal opens into a looping video collage made up from 3D animations of tunnels, wormholes, voids, flythroughs, and 3D animation tutorials found on the internet – the iconic abstractions of science fiction and computer culture’s spatial aesthetics, a clichéd metaphor for timeless and endless transcendence.
