The people on the screen are drawn with simple lines. Players choose one scene from among them and capture it on camera. However, shooting does not end with recording. People who see the topic on TV react, and that reaction becomes a new subject. The flow of seeing, spreading, and imitating accelerates in a short period of time.

The screen continues.
In the official image, the TV showing the person fits into another TV, creating a nested circulation of gaze. This is a composition that conveys the theme of the work without any explanatory text.

The shot scene will be streamed to the TV
If you select a frame from the square and take a picture, the image will be displayed on the central TV. The reaction of the crowd watching the broadcast creates the next event that can be filmed.
