Chasing the spiral was created for an assignment that required us to build an interactive digital artefact that explores the theme of ‘Ways of Being.' My interpretation of the theme ‘Ways of Being’ centres around the idea that we, as humans, live life in a state of anticipation. The idea of space, came from the John Green novel Turtles all the way down, which describes anxiety as a spiral tightening around you, and how galaxies are shaped like spirals, and how looking out at a night sky can feel like following ‘the spiral’ outward.
