Inanimate Uprising

The inanimate objects around us have gained sentience. What does this new society – where your furniture might just talk back – look like?

In this unusual dystopia, daily articles such as utensils, furniture and even buildings are now sentient and capable of expressing their thoughts. Explore the transition from inorganic to sentient, the relationships between these newly aware entities and humans, and how society adjusts when your favorite chair can now hold a grudge. Permissions, privacy, and inter-relationship dynamics turn the ‘normal’ as we know it upon its head.
