“Discover a place for loss and grieving in a world of virtual spaces.In a time of decline, we need to discover a place for loss in our lives, embrace its reality, and learn to find value in its insistence. Age of Loss explores the absurd inevitability of our increasingly virtualized world, and a renewed appreciation of loss, to try and find some grounding in the shifting moment.Find out more about Age of Loss by exploring below, or visiting the whole experience at AgeofLoss.com”
Jon Owen is an American-born, Canadian-settled graphic designer. Their work often explores the nature of our evolving world and speculations on how design might apply itself for the future. Their design often plays with interactivity and spatiality, taking the form of overwhelming landscapes generated to cope with grief, trauma, anxiety, or loss. Well-versed in motion design, print design and code-informed media, they invite users into a totalizing experience of their work through atmospheric virtual spaces.
