Title: Yankees
Venue and Format: Online
Innovation: Interactive, videogame-esque experience.
Plays with social media as its vehicle. The viewer is directed to a glitched-out website for a semester abroad program. There, they watch several videos from previous students. At the surface, it appears that nothing is wrong, just five college kids getting ready for their time in Italy. However, as the videos continue and the audiovisual glitches get worse, it is clear that something is going murderously awry. Exploring the meaning of being an American in a world on fire, this piece sticks with you long after you leave it.
