FlatEarth.io is an intricately designed real-time artwork, powered by a custom-built PC, and displayed on a sixteen-screen video walL.

It Simulates a competitive multiplayer home-building game and constantly evolves through proprietary software.

In each "game" round, a fictional character is given a house, bank account, and unique traits. As the scene unfolds, expenses and deposits appear on-screen, and households are ranked by wealth at the round's end.

The artwork uses symbolic imagery to create a layered metaphor for modern American life with an emphasis on consumption and the dynamics of global capitalism.
