Cybernetic Rapture


Audio Description | Access-In-The-Making LAB


In collaboration with Jessie Stainton, we co-wrote a part comic, part sonic experience that highlighted the art of audio description. As our first collaboration, Cybernetic Rapture is a joint imagining of getting lost in cyberspace. We drew inspiration from the ambient song "Toi" by Visible Cloaks, Yoshio Ojima & Satsuki Shibano and infused our own comedic take on a slightly dystopian adventure. We paired the image and the audio asynchronously so that readers may look, listen or read at their own pace.

A church against a hazy sky.The church once more against a darker sky.Both the background and the church are overtaken by pixels.A grey web emerges from the centre.A dark opening at the end of the alley.
Houses along a cobblestone street.The background becomes pixelated.A closeup of the bubble.Bubbles are slowly covering a building.The hand is overtaken by bubbles.
A hand prodding a bubble.The hand prods the bubble deeper.Large black shapes are corrupting the view of the church.A downhill view of the narrow alley.
