Mellow

Mellow is a navigable environment without destination. The player moves through 360 degrees on a circular axis, free to travel in any direction across an endless red sea. There are no objectives, no borders, no terrain that resolves into arrival. The world continues.

As the player roams, they unsettle the surface of the environment, generating parallel axes that fracture the visual field and shift weather patterns across the horizon.

In an installation setting, motion sensors translate physical movement into direction, collapsing the boundary between viewer and player. Mellow proposes an image of agency as disturbance: to act within an environment is to alter it, and to alter it is to produce new conditions that exceed intention.
