/Imagine Farewell Station
Inside a time travelling machine you are asked to recreate a fading childhood memory and remember the face of a woman that haunts your dreams. An interactive described footage experience embracing the inadequacy of language and memory.
In a post-war world where humanity has lost the ability to remember images, only scattered words remain. Scientists have created a learning machine that generates visions of the past using nothing but language, allowing you to travel through them. You hold these words within you, searching for the true image of someone you believe appeared in a dream—a text-to-dream generation. As you navigate this fragile and unreliable time-travel device, a hidden truth emerges. In the end, you must decide whether to trust the images before you or your own fragmented memory.
Imagine Farewell Station is a VR experience disguised as the memory of a science fiction art film.

The memory of a story reconstructed through words from the past. This is not the true story. The pictures won’t be real either. But they will feel familiar—like shuffling through a box of old, dreamt-of photographs.
