Fragmented World
Overview
Fragmented World is a game project that portrays the convergence, conflict, and mutual reinforcement of physical and virtual spaces through social media. In this process, human bodies undergo alienation, becoming increasingly detached from the original cultural and emotional contexts of urban spaces.
Research / Context
On social media, homogeneous image-text codes cluster around real geographical locations, compressing complex places into simplified and repeatable representations. These mediated codes do not replace reality, but reshape how it is perceived, circulated and imagined.
Although urban spaces may be compressed into similar labels online, their lived conditions remain complex, contradictory and discontinuous.
In social media, bodies and places are repeatedly detached from their original contexts, fragmented into images, labels and experiences that can be recombined and circulated.
Idea
Fragmented World turns this process into a game space, where physical and virtual fragments collide, overlap and reconstruct one another.
