Beschreibung:
There is no specific End of the World, no disaster, no epidemic, no war or nuclear apocalypse. The world simply fades away, dissolves, literally falls apart. No one knows (or wants to know) where this catastrophe comes from; its causes seem disconnected from the present, resembling a curse. The solution is even less predictable. Taking action is futile. Only the most senseless hope makes sense. Rousseau, the Elegy of Reason is a participatory multimedia ritual where humanity, faced with ecological and political collapse, turns to a surreal techno-mystical sacrifice instead of confronting reality. In a ceremony blending ancient rites and digital illusions, a chosen saviour is offered as a conduit to a hybrid god—part human, part machine—promising transcendence and technological salvation while the world crumbles unnoticed.
