Phenomenon
By Greg Liakopoulos
What are the outer limits of human knowledge? In an era where technologies of rendering and simulating reality have now become widely accessible, how can we distinguish the genuinely real from the artificial? On what can we still rely with certainty? And what happens when our most fundamental beliefs are shaken to their core?
An author faces the most dire crisis in his life as he finds himself unable to continue writing. Appalled by fiction, he chooses to devote himself exclusively to reality, determined to understand it in its deepest depths. Hence, a journey of self-discovery and truth-seeking commences, gradually submerging in a world where reality, fiction, and simulation become indistinguishably weaved. Wandering through a city that changes face from one minute to the next, seeking fragments of the real in an increasingly artificial world, he encounters thinking machines, literary figures, and deceased philosophers, embarking on a road trip within his own subconscious—a psychedelic plunge into the domain of doubt.
Inspired by the Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein's On Certainty, Phenomenon is a contemporary study of knowledge and doubt, groping the outer limits of a posteriori human knowledge: Are there any things that lie beyond doubt?
