The DAWN of Compliance is an immersive installation — part sci-fi satire, part bureaucratic fever dream, part metaphysical onboarding experience. Set inside a mysterious corporate entity devoted to "optimization, ascension, and compliance," it invites participants into a surreal world of absurd paperwork, glowing terminals, compliance testing, and cryptic office rituals.
The project draws on themes of control, labor, spiritual bypassing, and late-capitalist absurdity — blending immersive theater, interactive design, and sculpture into a strange, playful system that's always watching, never fully explained, and just maybe trying to help you transcend, on a probationary basis.
Presented as part of Somerville Open Studios 2025.
