Description

Careening between fabulism, science fiction, and lyricism, In Andromeda comprises fictions that explore the breaking points of the human, and inhuman, condition. Alien bureaucrats begrudgingly log data in the wastes of Iowa while Baba Yaga marvels at the innocence of youth. Robocop gets stuck in a memory time loop while bacon becomes the sole obsession of a particularly meat-hungry mobile app character. The galactic collides with the domestic in these absurd and formally inventive worlds.
