The environment appears natural and immersive, yet subtle glitches interrupt the illusion. The forest reveals itself not as nature, but as code: a constructed system simulating the organic.<\/p><p data-start=\"3077\" data-end=\"3236\">On the second screen, the viewer encounters themselves inside this landscape, framed through the interface of a lost phone. The device becomes both portal and surveillance tool. You are no longer just navigating the environment, you are inside it, visible within it.<\/p><p data-start=\"3077\" data-end=\"3236\">The work plays with inversion of agency. We assume we control the game, that we can step into digital environments and remain autonomous. But increasingly, systems observe, frame, and shape us in return. They have control of it.<\/p><p data-start=\"3077\" data-end=\"3236\">They can go to the arcade and play the game \u2014 and the game won\u2019t play them.
