This work investigates how language, particularly language generated and mediated through artificial intelligence, actively shapes human perception, emotion, and understanding of reality. Rather than treating language as a neutral tool for communication, the project approaches it as an operative system that continuously frames how the world is seen and interpreted. Drawing on the idea of linguistic relativity, the work focuses on the accumulation of negative, hostile, and distorted language that circulates widely in online environments. These expressions are often fleeting and anonymous, yet repeated exposure to them leaves lasting cognitive and emotional traces.
The work asks how such linguistic environments influence the way individuals perceive others, themselves, and everyday situations, especially when these environments are increasingly processed and reproduced by automated systems. By relocating online language into a physical and embodied context, the work highlights the tension between digital speech and its real-world consequences. It examines how artificial intelligence participates in amplifying existing linguistic behaviours, and how this amplification subtly reshapes social norms and perceptual habits.
Ultimately, the work invites viewers to reconsider language not as something that simply describes reality, but as something that actively constructs it.
