I'm Tired of Being Hypersurveilled
"I'm Tired of Being Hypersurveilled" is a concept album for the age of the metaverse, confronting surveillance on the marginalized body in America. Placing us in the claustrophobic environment of the S.Y.S.T.E.M. (Securing Your Safety Through Extreme Means) we, playing as Heno., are held hostage while the S.Y.S.T.E.M. attempt to surveille our every thought. When a glitch gives us the chance to see beyond the simulation we must search for an exit or be trapped in the loop forever. The interactive experience includes simulations by nine Black artists, who created visualizers responding to prompts around surveillance.
