Description
A scrolling maze on shifting ground.

Conceived as a performable webpage, Frustum Culling is a prose poem of text and sound, animation and HTML. It is a guided tour through a vessel populated by ghoulish characters, each surveilling and seeking: others, objects, assets. Reflecting upon architecture, labour, and gaming vernacular, the work extrapolates the present, suggesting a coming absurd predicament.

Runtime: 1 hour, 4 minutes, 6 seconds
