Stories
Written by The Sky is Lythologies’
immersive, interactive film that follows four researchers grappling with
temporal collapse and climate grief amidst an arctic expedition. Shot in 360
video, this work is part machinima (a portmanteau of "machine" and
"cinema") and part video game. Emerging from a series of workshops
and conversations, the narratives within are based on stories collected from
permafrost scientists, geologists, artists, and Svalbard’s community.
