ABANDONED ALIEN STRUCTURES
A JOURNEY THROUGH PARALLEL DIMENSIONSENTER THE UNKNOWABLE
Abandoned Alien Structures is a journey through utterly strange spaces – plunging the depths of mysterious worlds of infinite complexity, found inside strange algorithms known as fractals, first discovered in the 1800s – algorithms used to model and predict non-euclidian phenomena and chaotic/dynamic systems.
For unknown reasons, when rendered in 3D using feedback loops, these algorithms generate infinite, vast structures of unending complexity; often resembling strange machinery or architecture with an eerie sense of intent, serving some unknowable purpose.
Abandoned Alien Structures is an immersive journey through five infinite fractal worlds in vision and sound – a 360 degree experience designed for viewing in fulldome, virtual reality, and cinechamber venues, inducing a meditative state by overwhelming our pattern recognition with a scale and complexity far beyond human comprehension and points of reference.
True to its theme, abandoned alien structures is a non-verbal visual and auditory experience – a powerful visit to mysterious parallel dimensions, hidden in the folds of the fabric of what we choose to call reality.

VISUALS AND SOUND
The immersive 360 experience is rendered at 13K resolution with minimal compression and no anti-aliasing for maximum detail, and is further enhanced by AI upscaling to 15K.
Each of the five worlds of Abandoned Alien Structures is coupled with a majestic, glacial soundscape, reinforcing a sense of awe induced by the overwhelming, inhuman scale and eerie sense of purposeful design.
Provided through a partnership with legendary dark ambient label Cryo Chamber, sonic experience is further elevated by an ambisonic spatial sound mix flexibly deployable to any number of surround speakers, augmenting the music with an immersive sound field synchronized with the journey’s spatial orientation and direction.
All algorithmic world generation and music sourcing is complete, with final preparation of animation paths, rendering, spatial sound mix and film structuring occurring during winter 2023, with expected completion of film by spring 2023.
