An Artifact

As an extension of the film, we’re creating an immersive web experience called An Artifact.

These explorable spaces combine elements of the film: virtual worlds reconstructed from documentary footage, documentary scenes, studio sessions of Bill Frisell creating the improvised score, archival footage from the area, and audio captured in the town.

An Artifact is set within the virtual reality worlds created for the film. Creatively led by artist Alexander Porter (in collaboration with Claire Hentschker, Elliott Mitchell and Hannah Jayanti), the filmmakers used documentary footage to recreate places in the film such as Yvonne’s trailer, George’s museum, Philip’s trailer park, the spaceport.

These worlds have, until now, only been experienced by the people who made them. We’re very excited to share them as an immersive web experience where the past, present and future intertwine.

An Artifact is a collaboration between Adam Paikowsky, Arthur Longbottom, dotdotdash, Alexander Porter, Hannah Jayanti and Sentient.Art.Film.
