The Core

The Core by Dorijan Šiško is a video game in which players navigate through an abstract labyrinth that articulates various notions relating to the visual imaginaries of the future. The players enter the game through a speculative interface resembling a crystal ball, with which they try to steer their way to the looming core of the maze. The path presents the players with crossroads that lead to different accelerationist routes towards divergent visions of potential worlds to come.

Grappling the uncertainty of what lies ahead, players must make choices that determine the course of their journey as alternative paths emerge to create new trajectories to futurity predicated on past decisions. When, and if, the players finally reach the core, the idea of a pursued future becomes demystified, unveiled as a mere representation awaiting the conclusion of an imaginary journey.
