Beautiful Ugly

Beautiful Ugly is an interactive art piece that critiques notions of the body, media consumption and the ephemerality of digital technologies. Beautiful Ugly is an exquisite corpse comprised of 6 interactable vignettes that thread together to create a sensorial experience unique to videogames.
