Cosmogonic

Cosmogonic is a 10-minute interactive science fiction animated short. Wearing a VR headset, you enter the mind of Cosmogonic, a once-great robot-engineer who created the universe, and hear him tell the story of one of his planets, Actinuria.

The story of Actinuria

Actinuria is home to the Pallatinids, a society of giant robots ruled by the cruel King Archithorius. Fearing a conspiracy, he forces his citizens to wear uranium armor suits that explode if too many Pallatinids gather together. Pyron, a bold young inventor, uses science and technology to inspire a revolution against the king.

The story follows an oppressed society on its path to liberation. It explores the origins of Cosmogonic’s universe, the beginnings of life there and the struggles of a developed civilization, using a distant and often incomprehensible science-fiction world to consider the forces of nature, politics and technology that shape our own.
