About Hall 3B
A Living Retro Social Engine & Fictional Collegiate Soap Opera
Hall 3B is an interactive art and software simulation celebrating the golden era of the mid-2000s web. Built as a living time-capsule, it meticulously recreates the look, sound, and culture of 2005 MySpace, populated by an evolving cast of 64 fictional college residents across 32 dorm rooms.
