Escape Pod is a seamlessly looping 20 minute computer animated film chronicling a golden deer through glossy environments of wealth, power, and authority. Composed of one continuous tracking shot, the journey imagines a new reality devoid of human bodies, left only with material desires and ambitions of power.

Artist Jonathan Monaghan (born 1986, New York) creates animated video installations that challenge the boundaries between the real, the imagined, and virtual. Pulling from wide-ranging sources such as science fiction and baroque architecture, he creates bizarre, yet compelling, narratives and imagery with the same high-end technology used by Hollywood and video games. His work has been exhibited widely, including venues such as: The Sundance Film Festival, The BFI Southbank in London, The Hirshhorn Museum in Washington D.C., and The Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. His work has been featured by The Washington Post, VICE, The Wall Street Journal, The Huffington Post, and The Village Voice.
