ARCHIVE RECORD
EDUCATION DISGUISED AS FICTION.
DEUS MODUS was conceived as a way to put complex questions about artificial intelligence inside a story.
The project combines researched AI history and technology with a fictional narrative. Rather than presenting the subject as a conventional technical paper, the material uses fiction as its delivery mechanism.
The result is a world where the boundary between story, research document, intelligence report and interactive archive becomes deliberately unstable.
DESIGN PRINCIPLE / 001
The story is the vehicle. The question is the payload.
