Psychasthenia 3: Dupes
Psychasthenia Studio
2018.

Psychasthenia 3: Dupes explores the use of the immersive 3D game environment Unity3D as a site for interactive new media artwork. This project is a product of the Psychasthenia Studio collaborative. As a game-based immersive experience, Dupes explores challenging workplace relationships and gamified assessment environments, revealing the ubiquity of data shadow construction, the erosion of personal privacy, and the extent to which the avatar self can substitute for the real person in contemporary workplace culture.
