An interactive web project that retells the story of The Distance to the Moon, made by Franchan, the collaboration alias between myself and Franziska Mack.
The website presents artifacts preserved by Q, the protagonist of The Distance to the Moon, as well as fragments of Q’s memory, shown in alternating 2D animations and 3D interactions.
The website is structured as a museum archive, curated by a team of archaeologists Franchan, about the event documented in The Distance to the Moon, estimated to have happened in twenty five hundred seventy nine (2579) AD.
Six artifacts are showcased chronologically on the website, serving as entry points to the story. Interacting with these objects on the website, the visitor will trigger animations that are snippets of Q’s memory. Voiceovers that narrate passages from the story are interwoven into the navigation of the website.
