Mythology, for millennia, has acted as an ancient technology weaving itself into the cultural imagination, allowing humans to create meaning and social cohesion through stories; these stories, however, like the civilizations they support, all journey towards obsolescence. Today, we are witnessing such an obsolescence that has historically led to a crumbling of institutions and ideologies. As society moves through this process toward the unknown, we encounter the potential to evolve.

Author and expert in mythology Joseph Campbell noted that all societies must undergo a transformative hero's journey to make new meaning through the hero's return with the so-called artifacts of the journey. Here, those artifacts manifest in art made with new media call us to reckon with the disorientation of the collapse of identities, systems, and worldviews while other artworks illuminate acts of atonement, adaptation, and renewal, offering sparks to our imagination so that we may collectively envision the mythology of tomorrow.
