The Dithering (You Are Here) by Dev Harlan, Installation View, Fakewhale Gallery x Verse, December 2024

In this series, Harlan extends his innovative use of emulated desktop environments to critique the widespread apathy toward climate change embedded within techno-utopian narratives. By reconstructing pages from the landmark 1990 IPCC Assessment Report within a simulated 1990s Macintosh operating system, he creates a poignant dialogue between the optimism of early tech culture and the pressing realities of environmental science.

The collection comprises five unique, interactive works, each available as a 1/1 auction format.
