Journey Through the Garden of Sins
Ayoon Ro
A virtual reality game confronts players with ‘seven online sins’ as a way to free them from social conventions.
Within the realm of online experiences, the influence of social conventions and digital development protocols greatly filters interactions. Journey Through the Garden of Sins is a virtual reality game that encourages players to confront the seven online sins. These include the sloth of procrastination through endless scrolling, the lust of compulsively seeking adult content, the gluttony of excessive online immersion, the envy of comparison with others, the pride of social media boasting, the greed for more wealth and power through digital means, and the wrath of engaging in comment battles. Throughout this journey, players undergo a transformation from a digital baby to an unprocessed digital creature that embraces authenticity, unrestrained enjoyment, and spontaneous creativity.
