We shall now go further, down into the darkness.
How deep? Is it deep? Will we know when we are near the bottom?
The journey is disorienting. Perhaps we aren't going down at all.
Perhaps we're going in.
Timothy Morton, The Ecological Thought
The video game "De Profundis" leads players into a twilight space, where animal industry and pop industry meet in uncanny ways. Based on 3D-scans and photogrammetry data collected during activist undercover research in a pig factory farm, it enables the player to experience a place that was supposed to remain hidden.
