No. 031, in twelve platesThe Red Eyes

The rules of this room are simple: a flat, saturated red ground, black ink cross-hatching, and white only where an eyeball needs it. The drawing style is scratchy and deliberate, like an underground comic, and the shadows under each subject are scribbled straight onto the red. What runs through all twelve plates is eyewear: goggles, spectacles, binocular-like lenses and headsets, almost always with something staring out of them.

Some of the goggles have grown bodies. A pair of bulging eyes sprouts from a stalk like a mushroom; another wobbles on a long snaking neck; a striped pair struts on two thin bird legs. Square frames lie toppled on their side, one pupil still rolled toward you, and a pair with black lenses tilts on stubby antennae. In one plate a giant pair peeks over the top edge at a crowd of tiny hairy creatures and a little signpost. Two plates are human, more or less: a slouching fellow in a chunky headset gesturing at nothing, and a pin-headed figure in slit goggles. The last shows a bald boy in welding goggles while small lens-shaped objects drift overhead.

The red is uniform and bright, so in most plates the top of the screen is plain colour and the clock sits on it cleanly, white or black. The subjects cluster in the middle, right where the eye goes after unlocking. On the Home Screen this set is loud: icons stay readable, but expect the red to dominate, and the darker hatching tends to fall around the middle rows. Dark mode or light, it will not go unnoticed.

Built for people who like their phone a bit odd, fans of absurd comics and anyone who wants red with a sense of humour. Mushroom Eyes, Empty Lenses and The Headset download free in full resolution; the other nine are premium.
