Their designs take inspiration from hypnagogic states, geographically-located psychic trauma and dream-states, unconscious player input, dissociative worlds, and landscapes as autonomous, emotional entities. This series is a work-in-progress that points to future paths in expressive generative landscape design.enAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United StatesvideogameneurosciencesspiritualitypsychedelicartgamesimulationlandscapedocugamedreamabstractText
