ByeByeWorld.exe, an interactive audio-visual application, is the second part of the World.exe project. The first part, HelloWorld.exe (“Hello World” is often the first thing written by those learning programming), is set in the distant year 3020 when man is already extinct, and the second part, ByeByeWorld.exe, returns to the current Anthropocene era. The application consists of a collage generator that generates surreal visual and sound landscapes, as well as time capsules of more or less environmentally-themed news that serve as the foundation for the sound-visual interaction. The images and sounds that are subjected to aggressive postproduction, like news, come from our other habitat, the internet.
