This work was my thesis project at Portland State University. This work is an analysis of the internet art subgenre known as Vaporwave. My thesis posits that Vaporwave was foremost a satire of luxury in the late twentieth and early twenty-first century. More importantly Vaporwave targets the idea of luxury and the aspirational fantasies of material wealth imprinted in our cultural memory. The thesis presentation was two-fold, first the Interface site which houses the writing portion of the project and the Interface - an immersive art experience. I created a full exhibition as a response to the notion of Vaporwave being a “dead” genre. In this portion of the project I sourced props, created sculptural pieces, created original imagery, curated existing imagery,and  used lighting and music design to create the immersive space.
