I aim to tell the story of a digital character who controls a Truman Show-like virtual loop. By simulating how neural networks work, this explores the impact of social media on human behavior and psychology. This work is influenced by the documentary The Social Dilemma, visualizing the logic of manipulation, inducement, and surveillance. It aims to inspire awareness and discussion about the truths behind social media companies. The internet monitors me, gathering fragmented information about me. My self-identity is dismantled and reassembled by algorithms in an attempt to reconstruct and analyze me. The concept centers around facial elements, placing the face within an enclosed space to construct a virtual loop system akin to The Truman Show. While designing knitwear garments, I am also creating a digital short film that contrasts digital characters with reality technology. It explores the transformation of identity in an algorithmic environment.
