| |
|
| |
| I would like to work on conspiracy theories and internet rabbit holes by examining their role in the creation of interactive and cooperative storytellings.<br>
| |
| I am interested in examining the role of this communities from a religious and spiritual perspective and how their behaviour is shaped by the system that enable them to constantly create, re appropriate and replicate myths, idols and fictions.<br>
| |
| I would like to explore the online practice of constantly looking for clues in a sort of never ending game and the process also known as synchromisticsm - “an internet practise that consist in "drawing connections in modern culture and finding connections that could be coming from the ''"collective unconscious mind"; and finding connections between occult knowledge ( i.e. esoteric fraternities, cults and secret rituals ), politics and mass media.”''[[https://medium.com/tryangle-magazine/meme-magic-is-real-you-guys-16a497fc45b3 here]]<br>

| |
| I would like to work on a browser game. As a starting point for the development of the game i would like to focus on a collection of semiotic dictionary/collection of symbols, idols, mundane and web entities that collaborate to create this interchangeable universe of plots an fictions.<br>

| |
| ''<br>
| |
| Since I am working on the connections between complotto/ god-making practises and their gaming and clue-hunting behaviours i think would be interesting to develop a browser game that can reflect on this pattern within the very same structure that supports it. The prototype can be a place to experience and create a new storytelling. <br>
| |
| <span style="font-size:16px;background-color:yellow;">''Why is this relevant?''</span> <br>
| |
| I think the process of engagement into this conspiracy communities/ rabbit holes is facilitated by the structure of web where every information can drive you to infinite points without a defined and linear path.
| |
| Sometimes when I read and follow the stream of a plot online (a story, a fiction, an historical event) i find myself unable to reach the bottom: I am instead jumping from an hyperlink to another, leaving the main path and discovering lots of new concurrences, anecdotes and seemingly meaningful relations until you click on the following link.<br>
| |
| To read about a conspiracy often feels like accepting from the very beginning that you are willing to loose against the maze and that nothing makes any sense until you become a player yourself.
