Data Garden
Videogame, 2023. Developed by Shaman Garage.
Art direction: Iván McGill__ Lead programer: Pablo San Gregorio__ Sound: Pako Portalo.
A text-less comic-game hybrid about data, interaction and digital identity. In this click & click adventure you will have a single button to advance in the story: a virtual routine of a content consumer who lives their day through different platforms that harvest their data.
This data will end up reflected in a garden, the Data Garden. A growing ecosystem where everything endures. A reflection of your digital self that knows more about you than yourself.
Data Garden is a project that has been made possible thanks to the help of Sickhouse (Enschede, The Netherlands). In 2023 the studio followed the Sick Prod trajectory mentored by Zuraida Buter.
