Engine.lol Bedroom

Preview of When WE Love

A bedroom in an engine-loving universe where you make and unmake yourself.

Laptops, CRTs, posters, my desk materials

For my thesis installation, engine.lol was placed on two laptops on the very desk where I built engine (so I didn't have a desk in my apartment for a while). I made a bunch of posters to fill up the wall that were reminiscent of early technology ads (mostly Apple ones), instead making them about engine.

I wanted to present a bedroom of someone who was obsessed with engine – a gamemaker that makes itself that eventually makes the maker, too – wondering what capitalism would look like in a world of supposedly 'handmade' and expressive tools.
