Geekstar Galaxy / Explorer is an interactive extended reality (XR) experience developed for Snapchat Spectacles as part of Experience & Environment at Central Saint Martins. Rooted in remix culture and inspired by Legacy Russell’s Glitch Feminism, the project reclaims digital space as democratic and inclusive.
I designed a playful “feminine galaxy” using and remixing open-source assets from Lens Studio, editing planet textures, and animating them in circular orbits. The experience incorporates my ongoing Geekstar philosophy: challenging the commercial norms of tech and design by reclaiming the internet’s early open-source spirit.
In its final form, the galaxy includes rotating planets, a Geekstar Explorer inspired by the Internet Explorer logo, and an introduction sheet embedded within the XR environment. During open studio testing, audiences described the interaction as innovative and unexpected, while feedback highlighted the potential of adding sound remixing as a next step to deepen immersion.
Below, you’ll find a demo video along with snapshots from the open studio.
