This video explores EgoCyberosis—a state where the boundary between real and virtual blurs. Drawing on Freudian ego theory and Cyberpunk 2077’s cyberpsychosis, it asks what happens when perception is overloaded by digital input.
A rotting apple anchors the film. Captured in time-lapse and reshaped through AI transformation, it shifts between organic, decayed, and restructured forms—echoing unstable perception. Everyday acts like eating are reversed and warped, while handheld framing and flickering light fracture space and self.
HookieX is a custom typeface designed as a visual extension of EgoCyberosis. It merges organic curves with digital distortion to evoke fragmentation, glitch, and sensory overload—each letter intentionally unstable, mirroring the film’s shifting perception.
