Being-Forgotten Anxiety Disorder

Concept Overview

In a near-future society, brain-computer interfaces allow all experiences to be cloud-recorded and replayed.

To reduce cognitive noise and optimize storage, algorithms now delete “low-value” moments—stillness, boredom, drifting thoughts.

These quiet fragments are lost forever.

Over time, society develops a new psychological condition:

Being-Forgotten Anxiety Disorder

“If I’m not being recorded, do I even exist?”

People begin to over-produce behavior—not for meaning, but to remain in memory.

This VR experience places you inside that condition.

Interaction

  • As a diagnosed subject, you must manage your own “recordability.”

  • When you stop generating new actions, black holes begin forming on your body.

  • The larger the black holes, the more your surroundings are erased—your sound, vision, and presence fade.

  • You try to stay visible by constantly updating your to-do list and generating “memorable” actions.

  • But in time, a deeper question emerges:

    What do you want to be remembered for?
