Midfile Crisis is about realizing halfway through you are not gonna make it.

The struggle is real.

-

The work itself is the union of 2 projects, which, well, didn’t make it. Together though, they are stronger than ever. So yes, Midfile Crisis is a love story, too.

- To guarantee the same output at different resolutions the simulation driving the artwork is locked at 1024x512 pixels. To unlock, press 'u' - this can help when running at a lower resolution and the animation is not smooth, or when running at significanly higher resolutions and pixelation is starting to occur. Please note this will break the deterministic nature of the work.
