VIRTIA.
THE PERFECT WORLD

BARTLETT SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE. MARCH CINEMATIC AND VIDEOGAME ARCHITECTURE ACADEMIC WORK.

Modelled, animated and rendered solely by me in Blender.

HAIR HARVESTING FACILITIES

Virtia offers a critique of the social media economy through an allegorical lens, exploring the commodification of human interactions, attention, and data.

Inspired by dystopian visions, the project features three symbolic environments— the Desert of Dreams, Forest of Wisdom, and Lagoon of Love—creating the digital world of Virtia, where hair serves as the central currency.

THE PRIEST OF THE ORDER OF SOCIAL GOOD

Characters in Virtia reflect social media tropes and psychological archetypes.

All characters sculpted, modelled, rigged, textured and animated using motion capture by me in Blender.
