#NeuralCalibration

[darthquarkky]

"Shadows of OVERSIGHT: The Human Cost" documents the intimate personal experiences of citizens living under corporate control during the Patchwork era (2025-2105). Unlike official corporate archives that focus on technological achievements and governance efficiency, these images capture the daily reality of algorithmic control—from the quiet humiliation of resource allocation based on productivity scores to the invasive neural calibration that reshapes thoughts and emotions to corporate standards. We see the careful masks citizens wear to navigate surveillance, the sanitized histories that erase resistance, and the calculated brutality of corporate planning for the Great Impact. These images preserve what corporate records tried to erase: the human cost of perfect efficiency, the small acts of resistance that maintained dignity, and the painful choices families like the Harrisons made to escape Earth's corporate territories for the uncertain freedom of Mars. This collection stands as testimony to what algorithmic governance considered irrelevant—the human experience beneath the productivity metrics.
