The work presented in this thesis explores the creation and curation of fictional artifacts. The goal was to simultaneously explore and create a wholly fictitious civilization as a means of self-actualization and a grasp at the ineffable.

The "Artifacts of the Kree" is a real-time interactive rendering of digitally fabricated objects belonging to a civilization that inhabited a planet far beyond the reaches of humanity. These objects were curated second hand by an unknown sentient species and cataloged in the system presented here.
