CRESTONE MINECRAFT SERVER
A Minecraft server replicating the setting of the film. The film's subjects, who built their identities through platforms, feeds, and digital performance, already inhabited a world that existed as much online as it did in the desert. To enter the world of the film, you navigate it the way they do: through a screen, as an avatar, moving through a space that is simultaneously a place and a representation of one.
The viewer becomes a body inside the landscape, making choices about where to go, what to enter, who to approach. The passivity of watching is replaced by the agency of movement, and with it, a different kind of seeimg.
Minecraft is a world built from blocks, from accumulation, from labor that leaves a visible mark. So is SoundCloud. So is a life assembled from posts and uploads and late-night recordings in a desert town most people have never heard of.
Welcome to Crestone. You are on your own.
