Promised Land is a sort of short story. We are following a weirdly acidic looking mosquito that sways toward a lit-up platform holding a building from a distant world. The comical look of the insect is offset by the otherworldly landscape.


Bryan Itch is an artist based in Melbourne, Australia who works between digital painting, motion graphics, murals, and more.

The road to salvation can be messy,
An ugly paradox that reveals its beauty in time.
Searching the horizons while the answers lay inside.

With this selection I focus on the place of worldbuilding in digital creations and our capacity for constructing other spaces and ecosystems that might encompass ideas of futurities or parallel universes. Ursula Le Guin and N. K. Jemisin are inspiring writers who are oracles of a becoming humankind. They allow us to imagine, expand, and extrapolate the evolution of our environments with different parameters to those we have currently set. What can transport us to a threshold of possibilities, environmental parables, and change scenarios and encourage us to question ourselves, our societies, politics, ethics. Worldbuilding is a philosophical tool that challenges us with questions: How is nature defined? What is progress? What is adaptability? These other worlds allow us to imagine how we would live in a climate-changed earth.


This selection is the first part of a fantastic and eerie imaginary environment where new materials, textures, and flora come to play.
