DOWNSIDE-UP

The symbol of a humanoid head is both a self-portrait and a universal stand in for a human presence. These protagonists have been dropped into a virtual space, left to act out an endless loop and ponder the meaning of their existence within this digital realm. The soundtrack accentuates a sense of existential anxiety by using a descending Shepard Tone, an auditory illusion that creates an unnerving feeling of continuously falling.
