BIOGRAPHY

A digital fable that explores how individuals confront the privileges they hold as intelligent beings. The story follows a secondary character who, after gaining the ability to modify things, shifts from exploring this capability to losing control over it, and ultimately enters a cycle where the individual's existence and internal creative motivation transform into each other. People enjoy things when they are partly familiar and partly unfamiliar, especially due to the fantasy of satisfying the derivation of their own existence. The New Personalized Routine observes this irrational human desire for development that meets expectations in an open virtual time and space. Rather than criticizing the phenomenon, it liberates the individual's perspective from the instinctive singularity of the real world. Separated by a sub-dimensional boundary, it is an experience that may allow us to reach more clearly the intrinsic forces driving our actions.
