The Search for Happiness (...in all the wrong places)

ludus over paidia | reality and unreality | noise that informs realtime 3D

Navigating an abstract, noise-triggered soundscape built in a game engine under the pretense of ludoforming (recreating 'real' places in 'virtual' space or vice versa), the player explores audiovisual imageries that may trigger different experiential reactions.

Though developed inside a game engine, this project emphasizes paidia over ludus: playful, spontaneous exploration over rule-bound, goal-oriented gameplay.

This project is a response to the WestGate mall affair in Nairobi. It expresses no judgment or political stance.
