The Apocalypse Variations is an innovative UX gaming project that delves into how various beings experience their own apocalypses. Through a central game component, players step into the perspectives of non-human entities, witnessing their unique ecological crises and transformations. The game's outcomes are then interpreted into a series of experiments, forming "variations" of apocalyptic experiences that catalog the interconnectedness of life.
Tying into the themes of On the Critical Point: Wanderlust and Nostalgia in the New Age, this project challenges the human-centric view of the Anthropocene, encouraging reflection on how different forms of life face existential threats. By bridging gameplay and experimental interpretation, the Apocalypse Variations invites participants to explore new ways of understanding survival, collapse, and the shifting boundaries between nature and humanity.
