This project argues that to resist the 'Society of the Spectacle,' one must not escape it, but rather seize the initiative in performance. It is a social experiment in architecture, inviting participants to inhabit four archetypes—'Producer,' 'Replicator,' 'Spectator,' and 'Disciplinarian'—and to personally propel a self-contained game of the creation, circulation, and validation of counterfeit images.
The final purpose is to bring participants face-to-face with the very artifice and absurdity they have engineered. In doing so, they are compelled to form a visceral, critical understanding of the spectacle's productive machinery, prompting them to question their own complicity and performance in reality and creating a space where the problem can be directly addressed.
