Digital Window

Maya, Arnold  |  2023  |  Digital set design

“If I really could look out the electronic window of my living room in Boston and see the Alps, hear the cowbells, and smell the digital manure in summer, in a way I am very much in Switzerland” (Nicholas Negroponte, “The Post-Information Age”).

I designed a speculative fiction set around a digital window.  Inspired by retrofuturism, I placed emerging technology against American interior design of the 1950s and 60s.  All models are my own.
