dataGOD

Concept for an interactive installation, exploring the theme: 

"Data addiction and dependence on digital stimuli; data as the new religion"

With this installation the audience can experience a divine interaction with the omniscient dataGOD. When they fully engage in devotion by kneeling at the prayer bench they are rewarded with the ultimate religious experience; a one-on-one conversation with a digital deity and receiving a dose of digital dopamine. The end result is a sneak preview into what an "automated digital theocracy" would feel like. 


The installation consists of the following elements:

- Physical sculpture (3 meters tall)

- Rear projection screen for all moving elements of the dataGOD

- Interactive soundscape, responding to movements of the audience

- Prayer bench containing 3D motion detection and a microphone

- Voice-to-voice AI communication

- Physical data-cables and 8 (bit) disciples responding to different states 

- Floor projection and LED strips creating a digital temple
