SOCIAL MERIT SYSTEM

⚠ CRITICAL ARTISTIC STATEMENT

This simulation is a satirical critique of algorithmic discrimination. It demonstrates how technology could be weaponized to:

• Reduce human worth to arbitrary numerical values
• Create hierarchies based on appearance, reinforcing bias
• Systematically exclude individuals through opaque "AI" decisions
• Generate official-looking documentation that legitimizes discrimination
• Use "security features" to make oppression appear technological and inevitable
• Dehumanize people through bureaucratic classification systems

No actual facial analysis occurs. All "scores" are random. This exists to provoke thought about the dangers of appearance-based algorithms and digital identity systems in our society.
