. . the reference point of outside objects had become too tenuous, and he walked, step by step, feeling his way ahead, bent down, for some reason motivated to continue in motion, however slow. It hurt. This, unlike the initial exposure, was a major re-adjustment of the reality structure impinging on him. His steps made no sound. . . Philip K Dick, Now Wait For Last Year 1975
Universal Language – alternate reality is a short animated narrative that follows two generic characters as they navigate a terrain made up of a series of platforms, colour fields and walls not dissimilar to a traditional computer platform game. The structure and aesthetic of the landscape is taken directly from Mondrian's Composition in Red, Yellow and Blue from 1921. As the characters progress through their space they encounter both obstacles and individuals, the answers to these problems and their social exchanges consist of interactions with art historical events and ideas. The new historical lineage (dictated by narrative) and the outcome of these interactions provoke alternate directions and paths for artistic and historical interpretation.
