A procedural whiteness simulator that prompts the user to generate a white monologue. This is meant as a preemptive gesture.

Its egg icon refers to insulation, fragility, and the default Twitter avatar that was once a hiding place for trolls. The user is invited to play with this inconsistent body by pressing its buttons.

The application is packaged in an affordable software box along with a cheat sheet. These extrude the theme of ideological thinness into physical space. Its tagline is “If you say so”.

The Simplified Chinese edition (2019) suggests that the pathological conditions, signs, and symptoms of whiteness can travel across cultural operating systems.
