An Orchard, 2024
Interactive video game environment
Dimensions variable
An Orchard (2024) is a first-person exploration game created by Bob Bicknell-Knight and Rosa-Maria Nuutinen, that includes 3D models and photos that were produced during a joint residency at SARUYA Artist Residency in 2023.
Created over the course of a weekend, the experience is essentially a modern take on a slideshow presentation, a series of photos on physical slides that a family friend or distant relative would force you to sit through after returning from a holiday; important and captivating for them, enabling them to relive the memories of their recent trip, but not so much for you, who never made the original memories to begin with.
The artists invite you to explore the collected ephemera whilst reflecting on your own experiences of travel and exploration.
