Sad Satan

I was watching a video about the Deep Web. If you have never heard of it, it is defined as the part of the World Wide Web that is not discoverable by means of standard search engines, including password-protected or dynamic pages and encrypted networks. Using web browsers like Tor Brower allows people to anonymously hide all of their information. This new found privacy was taken advantage of and opened a part of the web where the most evil people can perform their horrific acts and still be untraceable. It is infamous for its 'Red Room'. A Red Room a room where a hostage is filmed on a live-stream with people watch and a person (any member of the public) pays by Bit-coin to become the 'director' and they instruct the people at the Red Room to do whatever the person who is paying is telling them to do. It is also a place used for drug dealing.





My idea (the distorted brain) was influenced by a game on the deep web called Sad Satan.  is a horror game in which the player navigates a maze made out of various shadowy hallways as distorted music and audio plays in the background. It also includes real raw sounds of the screams of victims at redrooms.
What I found interesting about this was that I was watching a YouTube video of a gamer playing the 'clean' version of the game and people in the comments section were saying that they could still hear the sound of the game minutes or even hours after they had quit the video. People who have played the real game from the deep web itself felt trauma as the sound they could still hear was reminding them of the grotesque images that they have seen. 



So I created this brain in Cinema 4d to create a cage and x-ray effect, I chose to do this because of how they feel as their brain is subconsciously looping the sound in their heads almost as if they are trapped in their own personal torment. 

I distorted the brain in Photoshop and I noticed how the brain automatically tries to make out the image and you can almost see faces in the image.
