2020
As part of Days__ and Counting preview organised by OH! Open House, members of the local media were invited to a mini physical art experience, where they were brought to a desolate bedroom to navigate the digital experience in private.
The invitation arrived in the form of a paper crafted TV remote control mimicking those people used to access the teletext system back in the 90s. The shortcut buttons are replaced with keywords such as Eat, Sleep, Wake, Work, Netflix, Repeat; daily motions that reflected the monotony of quarantine life which is a unanimous experience felt by the masses during the unprecedented lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic. Unknown at first glance, a newspaper bulletin is hidden within the package which details the curatorial and artists messages from this experience. As a bonus(pun), a bottle of hand sanitiser (packaged as a sanitiser for 'mental fatigue') was housed within it too, creating a highly unique press kit with a touch of the fun and the unexpected.
