Boundary-pushing artist duo ONLY SLIME presents an expansion of their interactive game-opera, AFTERLIFE, inviting visitors to embody on-screen characters through motion capture and journey between fantasy computer-game worlds in search of a higher purpose.
AFTERLIFE by ONLY SLIME (Toby Pfeil and Claudia Cox) transforms their 2023 computer-game opera into an expansive new installation that transports audiences to a world that exists between life and death. Combining elements of Greek mythology and contemporary internet culture, AFTERLIFE follows two 3D characters through fantasy underworlds and dream states on a desperate quest for existential meaning. Using motion tracking and playful mini-games, you become part of the work, influencing the characters and the paths they take. AFTERLIFE explores the shifting power dynamics between creator, player, and avatar, asking what control really looks like inside a system designed by someone else.
