Artwork for the show “World Roulette” by LightGrey Art Lab
About the project:
„Imagination is a beautiful thing, so let’s imagine infinite worlds together. We’ve all seen shows where someone gets a hold of a time machine, stumbles into a portal, or steps into an alternate reality generator, and the main character is tossed into a space unlike anything they’re used to. Rick and Morty, yes. Bill and Ted, exactly. Futurama. . .Star Trek. . . what would it look like if the fabric of our world was tossed into a bag and randomly assigned -- would we survive, thrive, adapt?
We built a time machine -- an online worldbuilding randomizer that includes four essential design categories: Ecosystem, Resources, Important Attitudes or Attributes of the People, and Imagined Time Period (Age of Darkness, the Blight, The Long Sleep, etc.) Each of the artists in World Roulette used the randomizer to create a fictional world inspired by their four prompts and got to work creating -- designing a new landscape, a totally different planet, a different outcome, changes to our resources, species, animals, etc.“
