This is a fictional satellite.

Viral is a satirical concept created for Deceit, an art project about the patterns of manipulation in institutional technology. There is no real commerce product behind this page.

Analyzes trending formats and generates "Christian versions." a trending dance becomes a "Bible verse dance." a trending challenge becomes a "faith challenge." jake thought this would "redeem culture." jake built a copy machine. jake doesn't know it's a copy machine. jake calls it "redemption." the redemption is a trend. the trend is a format. the format is from TikTok. the redemption is from shenzhen. jake is sincere.

If this project brings up something difficult, step away from the screen and contact someone you trust. In the US, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. For urgent danger, call 911. deceit.world/help has more real resources.
