Stochastic Labs presents: Lance Weiler + The Dead Internet Museum

Welcome to the Dead Internet Museum (DIM)! 🌐✨ This innovative project envisions a near-future Internet influenced by automation, synthetic media, invisible labor, surveillance, and compliance. Co-created by The Last Human Collective, DIM blends immersive theatre, participatory design, and play, transforming visitors into active participants.

DIM has evolved through several public prototypes, showcasing at Lincoln Center and the Museum of the Moving Image. Each iteration is shaped by audience feedback, experimentation, and participation, leading up to the upcoming 10,000-square-foot immersive exhibition at MAD Arts this fall.

The Last Human Collective features:

• Lance Weiler
• Shar Simpson
• Nicholas Fortugno
• Josh Corn
• Tanya Vlach
• Hillary Chew
• Alex Hera
• Diana Nguyen
• ... and, perhaps, you! 😊
