Eat me | Kristin Lucas

Curated by NEW INC

‘Eat me’—an “in-your-face” confounding retort laced with innuendo and sarcasm—gains currency during the Covid-19 pandemic as we are stuck at home, frustratedly figuring out how to eat, what to eat, and who to eat.

Meanwhile outdoors, animal species are happily thriving and eating in formerly people-occupied spaces. “Eat Me” indulges in nature’s insatiable appetites as a generative 360 WebXR animation punctuated by sounds of the artist eating. Designed to play on desktop and phone browsers.
