CREATIVE CODING

‘WILL U GET GHOSTED?’

‘WILL U GET GHOSTED?’ is an interactive game that I made to comment on the absurd and unnerving gamification of dating apps. The player enters through a wall of AI-generated dating profiles, where a jarring voiceover contextualizes that you (the player) have just been on a date, and that it went better than your other ones, so you should text them to arrange meeting up again. You input a text message, which takes you to the next page, a dark screen with green and red iMessages falling down, including the text message you have just sent. The green text bubbles are (ironic) green flag messages, and the red text bubbles are red flag messages that fall at an increasing speed that you have to avoid colliding into, or you will lose the game and get ‘ghosted’. This video is a screen capture of me playing it to show the interactivity, click this link to engage with the working prototype https://eliotlambert1999.github.io/ghosted2.0/

RE-CAPTCHA YOUR MIND!

Inspired by the ghosted game, I created a satirical interactive simulation of an online reCAPTCHA test. What happens when subject matter transcends traffic lights and cats and becomes existential, to reflect the culture of late capitalism? Is this a reverse Turing test, in which humans have to imitate machines in their categorization? This audio-visual experience takes you to that uncanny valley.

EXPERIMENTAL WEBCAM

Using ml5js’s face mesh code, I created an experimental webcam that turned faces into floating particle systems moving to the sound of Groove Armada's 'At The River'. Drift away into a world of your imagination...
