Excited to be participating in the ZO Computer Challenge!
CTRL//SPIRIT — a haunted operating system for diagnosing corrupted design systems.
I didn’t want to make a traditional portfolio, so I turned my personal website into an interactive horror desktop instead. The idea was to create something that felt like a cursed CRT machine, a living archive, and a design manifesto all at once.
Inside the site, visitors can explore:
recovered doctrines from broken systems
incident logs of interface failures
an infected components diagnostic mini-game
terminal interactions, hidden files, and eerie system warnings
I wanted it to feel unsettling, playful, and strangely beautiful — like stepping into a machine that still remembers every broken interface it has ever scanned.
Dark for me. The flow colors carry the whole chart and they read brighter against it. Did you check how the thin low-value flows hold up in light mode? That’s usually where sankeys fall apart.
