# DEEP DIVE (In Progress) ![[PR-DEEPDIVE_03.jpg]] ## About DEEP DIVE **Deep Dive** is an evolving game that plunges players into a 3D underwater world to investigate how algorithmic classification shapes our perceptions. Using gaze detection as the primary means of interaction, the game populates the environment with objects based on where you look, emulating how digital platforms generate "filter bubbles" through recommendation algorithms. You appear as a human-like cloud of data, navigating submarine internet cables by focusing on items that symbolize personal interests. Each glance is tracked and logged, constructing a profile that infers demographic details and consumption patterns. As the surroundings become increasingly personalized and uncanny, you witness how your own data classifies you. The journey peaks with a face-off against a data-constructed version of yourself, which can be dismantled by shedding your assigned identity. ## Credits Matthew Waddell Craig Fahner Mat Lindenberg Peter Nichols Funded through the Canada Council for the Arts' Digital Now initiative ## Related Topics ### Tags #Video-Game #Tech-Critique #Collaboration
