Black Friday: LOBOTOMY™

The marketplace becomes a ritual theater where desire is measured, mined, and mirrored back as punishment.This anhology codifies a retail system that escalates convenience into cognitive capture, rerouting everyday commerce into a behavioral extraction engine.

Black Friday: LOBOTOMY™ reframes consumer culture as a predictive apparatus that modulates identity, emotion, and agency through the veneer of retail delight. It abstracts Black Friday into a diagnostic platform that exposes how surveillance logic circulates through ordinary purchases and metastasizes into governance. It operationalizes a multi-episode architecture that scales across holidays, formats, and global markets, converting seasonal shopping into a year-round critique of techno-capitalist psychology.
