If an algorithm could build the relationship that fits you best, would you sign the contract?
Welcome to a fictional 2050 emotional service space, where loneliness has an index, intimacy has a dashboard, and a virtual companion can be tailored to your emotional needs. This immersive exhibition turns the wedding—a ritual of promise, commitment, and social contract—into a sleek, unsettling marketplace for human feeling.
Open an 情感帳戶. Receive an 情感載具. Let the system read the room.
Across five participatory stages, YES, AI DO. invites you to move through an emotional transaction that is seductive precisely because it feels plausible:
登入未來: begin with a loneliness index and activate your emotional account.
靈魂編碼: enter a matching system that calculates a virtual companion through personality parameters.
誓詞譯碼: encounter the ceremony of a 虛擬關係定型契約.
觀點乾杯: gather around competing views on attachment, identity, technology, and the meaning of a relationship.
關係點收: review the emotional data, receive a transaction statement, and make your final YES-or-NO choice.
This is not a promise of a perfect partner. It is a future-fiction service counter for asking harder present-tense questions: Can emotional data hold emotional truth? What happens when companionship becomes a product? What remains unoptimizable in memory, vulnerability, mutuality, and choice?
