Teenage Fantasy is a mythological digital item & program, anticipating a future where the distribution of information is strictly controlled, and all consumable information is tokenized and commodified.

Because of this, digital products exist in a form that is alien to us. Despite this fate, humans insist on their right to share without restriction. They seek to celebrate & share humanity through increasingly elusive and subjugated means, and they are forced into hiding, perpetually-absconding from forces that will suppress them.

They have no choice but to bootleg their experiences, giving permanence to their data using crude methods, obscuring access-paths from authorities, and promising that those who are looking for a buzz or a braindance always deserve to find some glimpse of sincerity within their hyperreality.

Their products and items are artifacts- portals that peer into the behavioural rituals of previous generations- and this is one brief example.

made as a fan-game of Cyberpunk 2077, made in response to contemporary technology & prosumer sharing practices.
