Black Room is a browser-based, narrative game about falling asleep while on your computer, on the internet. The work invites users to quest, contemplate, and investigate—it is not dependent on the idea of a goal-driven narrative or end-game victory. This game rejects a standard narrative format, in turn accentuating the central lyricism of the game—an astral and illusory user experience.

Many have used the term “contemporary” in theoretical efforts to better understand art’s current condition. But contemporaneity is a reoccurring temporality—we always live in the contemporary, always live today, no matter what our historical period. This leaves contemporary art in a dilemma of historical authenticity. The term “post-contemporary” suggests a period “after” the contemporary period. But what appearance would post-contemporary art have, what would its characteristics be? The precarity of our current cultural climate allows us to imagine—even prescribe—how to look toward a future of post-contemporary art.
