Welcome to Ad_Space [available] !
Ad_Space [available] is a retro-futurist health magazine set in a vibrant yet sterile dystopia.
What is health in the Ad_Space?
A helpful serving of Grade A pharmaceuticals.
A dash of cosmetics.
A splash of plastic surgery.
A generous dose of celebrity culture.
Ad_Space takes place in a society that is scientifically light years ahead, but lacking in culture and camaraderie. Everyone wears a mask and chooses to beautify it with cosmetic enhancements. The people of this world want to look good for their surveillance cameras. It is a world where nobody asked any philosophical questions about the rapidly advancing state-of-the-art technology. Those who thrive in this environment are praised for their lack of ethics.
Sound familiar?
Ad_Space [available] is a satirical take on our current synthetic social media slop via a retro, tangible medium: paper.
With the rise of readily available consumer goods, excessive plastic surgery, and Artificial Intelligence, this little fake magazine is an attempt to process Late Stage Capitalism © (or at least make it a little bit funny).
In other words…
It’s basically Futurama x American Psycho x Mad Men.
