I May Lack Identity, But I Have Wonderful Teeth

I May Lack Identity, But I Have Wonderful Teeth is a virtual theme park ride that explores the life of an individual forced into an economy based on the exchange of displays of social status. Here, infancy is characterised by the passive consumption of symbols of status and maturity is attained when the individual begins to produce these symbols.

In this reality, the constant exchange of signs and symbols empties them of meaning, thus rendering ideology, identity and culture meaningless. All that remains is a world stimulated by an accelerating flow of empty imagery. Even opposition to this system becomes invalid as there is no ideology to form its foundations.

This project was created as an honour's project for Interaction Design at The Glasgow School of Art.
