A delicious virtual world offering from Philippe Brault and David Dufresne that takes you deep into a world of deprivation and dysfunction, or so it would seem. It raises eyebrows and issues close to the moral fabric of modern US social existence as well as being a fine piece of cinematic ingenuity. A mix of first person video and multi-screen stills soon absorbs you into a desolate world that you explore through you're own choosing; picking clues, selecting actions, analysing video clips to try and make sense of the mysterious place that is Florence, Colorado known unlovingly as 'Prison Valley'.
Exploring the world only deepens the fascination and strangely the addiction to what in definition is a non-virtual place so try not to think about it too much or you'll end up cross eyed! Again! Either way its worth a peek :D
