User Error: Optimization Pending™

Optimization is the prelude to erasure. A surrealist indictment of the gig economy where a sentient operating system stages a hostile takeover of a user's free will to surgically excise her inefficiencies.

This series reframes digital burnout as a literal battle for cognitive territory, dismantling the "benevolent tech" myth through a dual-reality visual engine. It operationalizes the anxiety of the notification loop into a high-stakes thriller, mapping the invisible architecture of algorithmic control onto a character-driven satire. The narrative destabilizes the "User" archetype, exposing the fragility of human agency in a quantified world.
