A journey begins in-transit, unaware of exactly where you are. Figures begin to appear, but phase in and out of existence in a blink of an eye. Crossing the threshold, you uncover artifacts of digital memories, as your vision fragments from hyper-realistic locations and objects to frenetic digital and analog glitches. Your adrenaline races as the soundtrack accelerates until the world you understand collapses. Can digital artifacts supplement memory - is it all a dream?

Through haunting simulacra of dream-like landscapes as created and guided by suture blue, glitches and digital breaks are accompanied by royb0t's otherworldly music and atmospheres as the viewer journeys further into the concepts of memory
