| dc.description.abstract | Anti-Parietal Epithalamus is a hybrid work of speculative fiction and visual art, a non-linear story that follows characters into a dystopic alternative future of 4023. In response to a time-space anomaly that has rendered a massive geographical desert simultaneously present and absent, Johniffer and Jimison are drafted by a highly bureaucratic organization, The World Octagonals, to uncover the inner workings of the Entangled Desert. Johniffer’s sister, Annalese is a religious acolyte for her god Antropy, lives peacefully at the Vestigial Parish but through a series of visions becomes unable to separate Antropy from the anomalies caused by the Pineal Caelum. The Pineal Caelum is a mysterious entity that for an unknown reason is desperately attempting to get the attention of humans by manipulating vibrations and time-space. This thesis plays with magical interpretations of quantum mechanics, non-human intelligence, absurdity, humanity, and the boundaries of consciousness. At the center of it is a brooding anxiety over the unforeseeable effects of technological integrations and ecological disasters. | |
