AFTERLIFE by ONLY SLIME (Toby Pfeil and Claudia Cox) transforms their 2023 computer-game opera into an ambitious new installation that invites you to step inside a world between life and death.
Travelling through spiritual and mortal realms, you follow the story of Axi and Zi in a search for the meaning of existence. Using motion tracking and playful mini-games, you become part of the work, influencing its characters and the paths they take.
AFTERLIFE explores the shifting power between creator, player and avatar, asking what control really looks like inside a system designed by someone else. Immersive, atmospheric and richly imagined, the work opens up a space to reflect on how digital worlds shape the stories we tell about ourselves.
