LVL 01 · THE STUDIO

I MACHINE LIGHT INTO WORLDS.

This is the studio of Yaan Batho, built like a machine room. Raw model output comes in on the lift; finished worlds leave on the floor below — sitcoms shot in space bars, agents that publish good news while you sleep, quarries you can drive, birds that fight.

Everything is built in public by Yaan Batho, with a resident astronaut keeping the cogs oiled. If it can be imagined, it can be machined.

CREW FILE · 001

BATHO-01 — Resident Astronaut

Keeps the lifts oiled and the cogs turning. Usually found pacing the studio floor or the rafters; rides the lift between shifts, grapples when he's in a hurry, and will absolutely tell you about pies if you click him. You can pick him up and drop him — he packed a parachute.
