Deprogramming
2023, textmode/ansi

A face emerges from darkness as streams of 0s and 1s spill from its mouth like a sickness leaving the body. The image blurs the boundary between the human and the conditioned mind, with streams of binary vomiting from the figure like a sickness leaving the body. Inspired by the tension between intoxication and awakening, Deprogramming treats conditioning as the substance we've been drinking all along, absorbing beliefs, identities, fears, and assumptions until they become indistinguishable from ourselves. The piece transforms binary code into a visual metaphor for the assumptions, identities, and conditioned patterns that shape the self, as the figure violently purges that conditioning from within.
