When attention becomes currency, pain becomes entertainment.

An Unreal Engine project featuring a MetaHuman in a livestream. Likes from the audience unlock badges but also trigger escalating electric shocks.

The project critiques the gamification of pain and questions the ethics of attention-driven digital entertainment.
