DWLP: Department of Web and Land Property


Department of Web and Land Property (DWLP) is set in a near future where the depletion of web resources has become widely recognized. In this future, the DWLP manages the nation’s two limited assets—land and the web—aiming for stability and balanced development between the physical home of citizens (land) and their practical home (the web). This exaggerated dystopian scenario invites reflection on how the web, often seen as infinite and timeless, is in fact rooted in physical networks, and is inevitably consumed, replaced, and depleted.
