Salvation Made Simple™ is an interactive mixed-media art installation exploring the conflations between religion and commerce via a fictional spiritual organisation called The School.
Creating an immersive universe surrounding The Goddess, a fictional being pieced together from actual rituals and traditions from 13th-century Temasek, inspired by the erasure of native culture that occurs as a result of colonialism. The installation riffs off the appropriation and instant gratification that is commonplace in pop culture today, provoking the question, “What if this long lost religion survived, how would they make themselves relevant and appealing to millennials today?”. Salvation Made Simple™ appeals to millennials with #Blessed merchandise dispensed via vending machines.
