Beneath the burning desert sun, metallic roots twist, a feathered snake glides, and arms of water flow through an Earth tree, glistening with fireflies. On motley rocks corn sprouts as mushrooms take root. Night falls, stars shimmer, and branches of Araucaria extend spiked arms in search of an embrace. Quaresmeira flowers bloom as the Spider Goddess scatters seeds in this virtual landscape.

The story explores themes of love, identity, and the societal norms of Edwardian England.

Initiated in Dundee by Scottish Screen, the Alt-w Fund is for practitioners based in Scotland to make and develop new artworks, devices and creative applications that challenge the notions of what new media creativity can be.

The fund supports artists to explore experimental and interactive practice, make use of technology as both medium and message, and recognise the changing role that digital culture has in our society.
