Sortie en Mer is an interactive drowning simulator by CLM BBDO. In it, you see through the eyes of Julien, whose clumsy friend knocks him into the water while out sailing. From there, Sortie en Mer is a haunting and frantic struggle for survival. It’s an incredibly intense experience for something that takes place through the web browser, and while it is very PSA-y, it’s pretty effective at putting you into the shoes of a drowning sailor.

“Zee” by Kurt Hentschlager
The audience wanders freely in a space filled with extremely dense fog that fully obscures all of its boundaries. Stroboscopic- and pulse lights illuminate the fog, in a softened and evenly dispersed manner, creating kaleidoscopic three-dimensional structures in constant animation. An ambient and minimal sound-scape connects to the imagery, without directly synchronizing to it.
