PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Haunted by the transgressive actions of their recent past and excommunicated by their friends, Blair tries to heal and move on by reinventing their online creative practice. But what if that isn’t possible?

Half live, half digital, 366 Days plunges us into a hallucinatory virtual world where art and life are indistinguishable. Hurt loved ones have their say, dead cats come back to life, and the paralyzing aftereffects of trauma are brought to weird and surreal digital light.
