More is more. 
Heavy on content, light on meaning, Entertainment System takes a look at contemporary imagination and how nothing seems worthy of our sustained attention.

PART 1: TIGHT BOXES
Passive media consumption and light interactivity: key ingredients of perpetual distraction. 

PART 2: EPICUREAN ALIEN
Now that everyone is the executive chef of their own planet, how will you fare when faced with the task of decorating the ultimate surrealist dessert?

PART 3: HELL. YEAH, SCIENCE?
Our species is doomed. Observe this simple bacteria evolve into our new planetary overlord right before your eyes. Next time, clean the tank.
