2021 selection 100 archive for Outstanding Irish Design

​

about:blank is what appears when there is nothing else to display. It exists in the space between the internet and you. From here we depart. 

​

Transported through fragments of Dublin, we find an émigré working in a charity shop, a missing cat, the internal chatter of a yoga session, a writer disagreeing with her characters and a couple discussing their absent daughter. 

​

Written as a circular mixture of narrative-poetry, prose, monologue and drama, and adapted into a site responsive and audio-immersive journey, about:blank begins in the cloud and ends where you live.
