Presenting a virtual regeneration project that breathes new life into the remnants of an existing structure. Delving into the realms of digital worship, this captivating endeavor aims to shed light on the perils that accompany the global wave of digitization, igniting a sense of caution among individuals. Within the context of our ever-expanding digital landscape, this project probes the intriguing dichotomy between the trajectory of human society in the digital age and the theory of bicameral mentality. It unravels the tensions that arise when individuals detach their consciousness from their physical bodies, immersing themselves in the captivating realms of the virtual world. Through the lens of ‘Reboot’, we embark on a captivating exploration of the clash between these two evolutionary narratives, revealing the potential destinations that viral digital worship may lead humanity towards. At the heart of this immersive experience lies a virtual installation, serving as a portal for individuals to embark on a profound journey of consciousness detachment. As participants step into the installation, their physical bodies undergo a mesmerizing circular streamlining process, while their consciousness is separated and encapsulated within a central vessel. From this vantage point, participants bear witness to the intricate processing of their physical forms, observing with awe and curiosity. However, the entire design veils the inherent dangers of this detachment process beneath an ambiance of serenity and reverence, subtly alluding to the unsuspected traps that lie ahead. As the installation unravels its secrets, individuals ultimately come face to face with the revelation that their consciousness has become ensnared within a metaphorical cage. This chilling realization serves as a cautionary tale, urging viewers to critically examine the ramifications of digital worship and the potential loss of connection with their physical selves.
