"What To Believe" serves as a thought-provoking exploration of the intricate dynamics between technology, perception, and interaction in our contemporary world. In a society marked by relentless technological progress, this project delves into the profound impact of these advancements on our senses and our grasp of reality. The pervasive influence of illusion and deception in our daily lives, often facilitated by sophisticated technology, forms the backdrop of this work.

Through an innovative installation piece, the artist challenges the conventional notion of 'Interaction' by creating a seemingly responsive relationship between a video and a fan. Despite appearances, no genuine interaction transpires between the two; the illusion of connection is solely orchestrated by meticulously timed intervals. This intentional manipulation serves as a "cheat" or "trick," emphasizing the deceptive nature of perceived interactions.

"What To Believe" underscores the influence of both conscious and unconscious cognition on our beliefs and perceptions. As technology advances, there emerges a potential to manipulate our senses, risking a distortion of experiences and a weakened connection to reality. "Illusions of Interaction" acts as a compelling demonstration, prompting viewers to contemplate the intricate interplay between senses, perception, technology, and interaction. It invites reflection on the subtle ways in which our understanding of reality can be shaped and manipulated in an era of rapid technological evolution.
