Title

A Human’s Best Friend? A Step Towards Less Anthropocentric Horror

Creator

Georgaki, Konstantina

Abstract

Anthropocentrism is the act of putting humans at the center of the world, and it can be seen in various media including horror. Anthropocentrism is dangerous as it can make us lose touch with nature. The goal of this project was to judge already existing horror media since they are always centered around the human experience. Using the form of pixel art and writing I created a horror concept of bodies that can act as a steppingstone for people that would like to expand on it using other media.
