We all need to get away sometimes. Whether you’re settling back in after a too-short holiday or just wishing for a little extra break in your day, these projects offer a reprieve from routine.
Moment Air
By Moment
Escape into the air — at least with your camera. The photography and videography buffs at Moment have designed a new anamorphic lens, filters, and cases to help you take your drone filmmaking to new heights.
Lyra
By Creoqode
Escape into video-game nostalgia, wherever you are. London-based design and technology studio Creoqode is back to create a handheld, Raspberry Pi–powered DIY device that can emulate any classic console.
Destination Fantastic
By Stefan Pokorny and Satine Phoenix
Escape to castles, dungeons, and other real-life places that have inspired fantasy-genre lore. Dungeon masters Stefan Pokorny and Satine Phoenix are producing a documentary travel show that explores mythological origin stories and their impact on the world of D&D.
The Decline of Mall Civilization
By Michael Galinsky
Escape to a bygone era of mall rats and teased hairdos. The follow-up to Michael Galinsky’s popular photo book Malls Across America will include new images documenting ՚80s U.S. mall culture. Radical!
Away: The Survival Series
By Breaking Walls
Escape humanity altogether in this video game set in a people-free future. Indie studio Breaking Walls hopes to merge the thrill of a survival-adventure game with the lush landscapes of a nature documentary.
