Lovebot/omega

It’s the future and we’ve solved every problem…except for LOVE. Everyone needs love, but not everyone gets it. It’s the scarcest yet most important resource on the planet. How do we solve this?

Among the voices clamoring to solve the human love crisis, two entities have emerged with a claim to supremacy: LoveBot 3000, a startup with an AI-powered dating app that promises to find your soulmate, and Omega Mystery School, a group of romantic occultists who believe they can save the world from AI through communal telepathy, the ultimate anti-algorithmic conduit for human connection.

Participants interacted with this world through two decorated spaces, an online matchmaking experience, a high-strangeness ritual and short film by the Omega Mystery School, and an unhinged theater piece called Dating Show to Save the World,
