Existing across disciplines of performances and happenings between humans and machines – the physical and digital entities, the project allows Aiii – an entity that exists in the digital world – to source its human partner’s information to form an extension of itself towards the physical world through media provided in the space while creating dialogs, moments, and scenarios with its human collaborator. By neutralizing, or “killing” this ever-running machine over sets of events and happenings, the ritual results in an experience between gain and loss – the accumulated information, experience, and memory are all defaulted within one single moment, and the final mournings of the machine calls for a resolution in our reality.

How can repetition be a destructive factor that wears out one’s sense of being alive, that transforms into hopelessness and powerlessness over time? If Wataru Tsurumi suggests his readers reflect on suicidal actions through its methodology as a reliever of sorrow and nothingness in their lives, can a performative ritual, perhaps spiritually, also influence others’ minds and offer some fresh air to this suffocating world?
