Disenchantment is a poetic system that transforms user emotions, memories, and images into algorithmically generated data souls through immersive digital rituals.

Concept Statement

Disenchantment is an interactive installation that lets viewers encounter a poetic reflection of themselves, one generated by AI from their own responses. Through layered visuals, language, and emotional feedback, it transforms user input into a “data soul,” blurring the boundary between self-expression and algorithmic interpretation. In doing so, the work questions the myth of control and reframes disenchantment as recognition.
