Colophon

This is a fictional satellite.

Comfort is a satirical concept created for Deceit, an art project about the patterns of manipulation in institutional technology. There is no real death product behind this page. Nothing entered on this site — signup, checkout, or the chat widget — is stored or sent anywhere outside this browser tab.

Sends a verse to someone who is grieving. the verse is "matched to their emotional state." the emotional state is guessed from their last social media post. jake thought this would "bring comfort." jake built an automated condolence card. jake doesn't know that automated comfort isn't comfort. jake thinks a verse is enough. jake thinks a notification is enough. jake thinks shipping is enough. jake is wrong. 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.
