3. “LAN HOUSE CARETAKERS”
Do you remember this feeling?
When you're a child and enter a possibly empty office after a typical day of work for your possible parent...
It's 6:30 in the evening, and all the employees have already left.
The central air conditioning is still on.
You take a deep breath — that corporate smell.
Your favorite room is the Main Server Room.
Observing and listening to all the red and green lights on the grid, invaded by the white silence exhaled by the servers.
Your responsible adult almost always stays late in their dark office... You can only see the reflection of the screen's light on their foggy glasses.
Then, you look for the first time at desktop terminal number 00023.
It was your first encounter with this kind of tool.
You pull the blue upholstered chair.
You sit comfortably.
When you touch the mouse, your heart starts racing.
A green and black screen appears, asking if you want to create a "NEW LOGIN."
It's the first time you create an account.
You press ENTER.
And you're already here.
You are accessing the central headquarters of the S.E.E.D. team.
You never forgot that smell; it really helps to keep the mindset stable and the online connection.
The old — but clean (?) — carpet on the floor is the foundation of this room.
A 90s-2000s desktop with a customized OS HUD, accessible with a password.
The game is like accessing these secret terminals.
Passwords can be found in other parts of the space.
These terminals will have folders with confidential documents.
The folders contain files in a compiled archive made by S.E.E.D..
Metaphysical, spiritual, occult, and scientific studies on consciousness.
The images generated in other sections of the experience will also be there, team studies to put together the exhibition, like a process file terminal.
The interface of secret exhibition cameras is also available.
Visitors can download all the content with one click (FULLDUMP) on their own pen drive.
Works in various digital formats can be accessed on the desktop with a large CRT monitor.
On one wall, you can see the rizomatic representation of the organization's research, with red wires connecting the points like an investigative movie panel from the 90s about conspiracies.
The coffee table with the remnants of last night's meeting is still there.
A large black leather sofa is the relaxation spot.
An old cassette radio plays current pop songs in an analog and slowed-down restart, creating a sound installation in direct reference to the chop n screw vaporwave hypnagogya element culture.
