In an age of decontextualized information, circulation has become a substitute for authority. Gaigaau confronts this reality: when attention is quantified, emotion is commodified, and images are endlessly reproduced, truth is no longer determined by evidence but by visibility and velocity.

Gaigaau stages a deliberate intervention into the mechanics of belief. It asks a blunt question: when traffic replaces fact, how do algorithms and memes rewrite faith? This project refuses to treat that question as rhetorical. It treats the production of credibility as a political technology to be exposed, disrupted, and contested.

The work constructs a fictional religious system as an experimental apparatus. By fabricating deities, scriptures, relics, and pseudoarchaeological artifacts, Gaigaau simulates the cultural infrastructure that manufactures conviction. The project insists that belief is not merely private or irrational; it is engineered through repetition, ritual, and circulation. The installation is not satire alone. It is a forensic probe into how authority is assembled in the digital age.

Religious and political authority have always traveled on the back of reproducible images and texts. From European woodcuts to East Asian printed sutras, reproducibility made doctrines portable and persuasive. Today, social platforms and meme economies accelerate and amplify that logic. Gaigaau relocates this genealogy to the present and demonstrates that reproduction and distribution have become the conditions of truth.

The Siōng Tshinn sector is configured as a quasi‑religious archaeological museum. Faux‑antique prints, gilded chicken icons, a “chicken Buddha,” accessible holy water, and talismans form a complete ritual system. Visitors are invited to participate: take an object, read a scripture, perform a rite. These interactions collapse the boundary between history and invention and render the manufacture of belief into a set of observable, repeatable actions. The work transforms spectators into co‑producers of credibility.

Gaigaau issues a stark warning: when faith divorces reason and truth divorces history, social values risk becoming algorithmic artifacts. The project demands that we interrogate the sources of credibility and reclaim practices of verification. It poses urgent, actionable questions: How do we recognize truth within designed visibility? How do we defend memory and judgment under a traffic economy? Gaigaau is not an endpoint but a provocation—a public site for reflection, dialogue, and the reconstruction of verification practices that preserve critical capacity and collective memory.
