DEEP DIVE Unity Developer

Project description:

Artists Craig Fahner and Matthew Waddell) are building an interactive 3D artwork entitled Deep Dive, which seeks to reveal the extent of algorithmic surveillance, data collection and commodification in the everyday spaces of the web. Viewers plunge into an interactive narrative, in which their “data double” explores an underwater world populated with clickbait detritus. Each time the viewer fixes their gaze on a particular item, data is stored on their supposed “interests.” As a result, the underwater environment becomes increasingly saturated with other objects that represent the viewer’s interests, replicating the logic of the attention economy. As the viewer becomes further and further enclosed by these uncanny images, they are faced with the challenge of escaping from their grasp. Deep Dive is an extension of a previous project called Deep Solutions, which can be viewed here.
