    • Into the Blue

    Into the Blue is a multimedia installation acting as a monument to the defection of the wealthiest individuals from the United States. The installation is a funeral for them and all that they provided, and a big ‘Fuck You’ to and from everyone left behind. A video synced to a looping player piano and various pieces advertising the seasteading ideology depict a dystopian future ahead for those on land. The installation showcases the death of America on the set of a commercial for the bright future lives of the rich and famous.

    • Never Look Back

    Never Look Back  is an installation proposing what a ‘Last Blast’ party of those rich enough to defect from the United States to international waters might look like. Inspired by convention displays and hotel interior design, the piece is an interactive set poking fun at the loss of an elite secret society.
