This semester-long project explored the history of North Knoxville through a counterfactual lens. Using a pivotal moment in the city’s past, a “what-if” scenario was constructed to reimagine an alternate landscape. The work juxtaposes two aesthetics, one rooted in the present (2025) and the other in an imagined past (1940). The final deliverable is an interactive video game that allows players to portal between these two realities.
