When even COVID has had enough of you / 2021

CONCEPT

This is a self-initiated project fueled by the subject matter of my dissertation. Founded on the discourse around the effects of Donald Trump on humour, the aim of this project is to explore graphic satire and push its boundaries, with the aid of new technology.

As a visual response to Trump’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic and inspired by false immunity claims he made via Twitter, the outcome employs irony to depict Trump as a repulsion force that doesn’t allow the virus to approach him. The 3D environment is intended as a dynamic immersive experience and encourages users to interact with the elements by trying to move them closer to Trump’s figure and becoming part of the humourous endeavour themselves.

This project has been an opportunity to experiment, speculate and expand my skillset.
