Anti-Gone is a live stream performance by artist Theo Triantafyllidis, based on the comic book by Connor Willumsen, commissioned and produced by Onassis Culture. Anti-Gone incorporates live performance with real time simulation to explore the social impacts of technology, privilege and the beginnings and ends of worlds. It premiered at the New Frontier, Sundance Film Festival 2020 and it has already been screened live at Pop Montreal and Gray Area Festival.
Synopsis

In a post-climate change world, environmental catastrophe has become normalized. Cities are sunken, yet the vestiges of late-capitalist culture– consumerism, inequality, social unrest – live on, clinging like barnacles to the ruins of civilization. Spyda and Lynxa are a couple navigating this world frictionlessly. On their sailboat, they glide from shopping to movies to psychedelic drugs. In a damaged world where you can have anything you want, what’s the cost?
