Post-internet 3D work that sits at the overlap between fine art provocation and digital chaos — this isn't a film that wants to be liked, it wants to unsettle.
Kim Laughton in full post-internet Rafman-adjacent register — the title alone is a provocation that does some of the work. Hard to assess properly from a Vimeo verification page, but Laughton's practice is the real thing and the .exe download alone signals an artist who takes the medium seriously.
Kim Laughton doing post-internet hallucination is reliably one of the more interesting things happening in CG art — but the page is locked, runtime unknown, and the description is thin. The pedigree carries some weight.
