Panoptikart is a creative laboratory for the post-truth age—exploring the blurred boundaries between reality and fiction, myth, memory and manipulation, through provocative, transmedia storytelling. At the intersection of art, technology, and cultural critique, it curates experimental works that question perception and power, expose the machinery of narrative control, and reimagine the fictions that shape our collective consciousness.

Society is a Cult

This transdisciplinary research project interrogates the mechanics of belief, obedience, and narrative control in the digital age. Blending critical theory, media studies, and cultural analysis, it offers a provocative yet rigorously grounded exploration of conspiracy allure—not to debunk, but to understand and deconstruct their seductive logic and the deep structural and existential anxieties they express. At its core, the project functions as a toolkit for radical media literacy: equipping participants with the cognitive and communicative tools necessary to resist mainstream propaganda and fringe narratives' equally manipulative lure. By engaging with digital artefacts, philosophical texts, and narrative simulations, the project invites critical readers and digital citizens alike to examine the rituals of conformity embedded in everyday discourse—and to rediscover doubt as a method of inquiry, resistance, and democracy.

The Fictitious Codex Of St. Elijah

Out There - The Fictitious Codex of St. Elijah

Out There - The Fictitious Codex of St. Elijah is an interdisciplinary research project and collaboration that merges speculative storytelling, digital media, and cultural heritage to interrogate the shifting boundaries between truth, fiction, and power in a post-truth society. Presented as a lost manuscript written in the medieval Georgian Nuskhuri script and brought to life through AI-generated imagery, the Codex functions as a provocative artifact of cultural resistance. It critically engages with themes of disinformation, narrative control, and epistemic authority, echoing Georgia’s contemporary struggles with media polarization, ideological fragmentation, and the politicization of historical identity. By blending symbolic tradition with digital innovation, the project challenges conventional modes of knowledge production and invites reflection on the role of fiction in shaping collective truths.

MANUFACTURE OF THE REAL PODCAST

The Manufacture of the Real

The Manufacture of the Real is a multidisciplinary podcast project that critically examines how reality is constructed, perceived, and mediated through cultural, psychological, and technological lenses. Positioned at the intersection of philosophy, media studies, cultural theory, and consciousness research, the project offers a reflective and investigative space for unpacking dominant and emergent narratives and exploring how alternative frameworks—from spiritual traditions to digital cultures—shape our sense of what is real. It aims at bridging academic and theoretical discourse with accessible conversation, questioning foundational assumptions and inviting diverse perspectives to foster a deeper understanding of the mechanisms behind meaning-making in contemporary societies.
