SUDO

SUDO reconfigures religious ritual through the operational logic of computational systems. Drawing its title from the Unix command granting temporary superuser privileges, the work stages spirituality as executable procedure rather than transcendent encounter.

Gestures associated with prayer, submission, and invocation are displaced into a technological environment governed by permissions, access structures, and behavioral protocols. Ritual becomes interface; devotion becomes command line.

Suspended between liturgy, cybersecurity aesthetics, and systems architecture, SUDO examines how contemporary forms of authority increasingly operate through invisible infrastructures that organize access, control, and participation while remaining largely opaque to those moving within them.
