Cave Exits

Peter Burr

An ambitious new project, ‘Cave Exits"‘ is a multimedia narrative set inside a 4-channel video cube. Recalling the way we interact with online media – clicking, zooming, scrolling – it turns the visual archetype of the labyrinth into a circuit board for lost, anxious feelings. Viewers will be unable to process all incoming information in a single sitting, forcing them to pick screens either to sate their curiosity or learn more about the shifting structure.
