La Montaña Rusa by Los Carpinteros, Multisensory Interpretation by Kristjan Buckingham, Tamara Crasto & Mihyun Maria Kim
This multisensory interpretation of the sculptural installation La Montaña Rusa, by Los Carpinteros (Cuban artist collective 1992−2018), reflects the collective's focus on the theme of juxtaposition through their works that situates public outdoor objects in relation to domestic spaces. Visitors are invited to engage with the work through audio-visual prompts that suggest participation within the home, outdoors and augmented spaces with accessible materials that are meaningful to the individual.
The Astral Project - Prototype Playthrough
by Kristjan Buckingham, Jay Cooper,
Lynn Akhouri & Nneka Nnagbo
The Astral Project is a playable 2D game prototype. The gameplay is essentially a scavenger hunt style puzzle game with a top-down RPG aesthetic. The player must solve puzzles by interacting with objects in a specific order based on prompts in order to enter the astral plane, guided by their cosmic companion Leela the cat. If the player is able to enter and exit the astral plane in each of the five rooms, they are able to win the game and transcend into the astral world.

Speculative Fiction / Science Fiction Contextual Review Video Essay
Speculative Fiction / Science Fiction (SF) is a useful way to consider the implications of technological and scientific developments, and to bring these conversations outside of academic spaces. Media such as books, film and television, radio and podcasting, video games, and VR / AR experiences have all been used to facilitate speculative representations of existence and potential realities. Speculation may be used as a tool to better understand and find truth in the unknowable through fictional imaginings represented through media.
