Machine for Dying
A darkly satirical NFT art collection exploring corporate control, industrial decay, and the illusion of the “happy worker“.
Machine for Dying is an experimental blockchain project that pushes the medium’s creative potential while critiquing the systems behind modern work and life. It plays with the illusion of the “happy worker” in a “good company” — a tightly controlled world driven not by purpose, but by productivity, profit, and the relentless consumption of resources and labour.
Diabolical Machines
This project is the first in a growing series called Diabolical Machines — experimental generative works, or blockchain curiosities, each exploring a different moral theme.
The strategy was to create a narrative-led, immersive website that feels like the beginning of something bigger — a world with more episodes to come.
Narrative Website Experience
Our aim was to build an exploratory, atmospheric experience. Visitors arrive in a liminal space — part industrial ruin, part derelict seaside attraction — shaped by ambient sound and visual decay.
At its centre stands an abandoned vending machine, branded by fictional mega-corp Korgon, offering up a mysterious Worker in a Box — a strange, interactive artefact waiting to be explored.
Worldbuilding: Korgon Industries
To support the story-world of Machine for Dying, we created Korgon Industries — the shadowy corporate force behind the vending machine.
