Archaeology – A Review of Andy's Backroom Experiments – Exploration and Extension of the Backroom Concept As the core figure of $Fartcoin, Andy has been in the spotlight for his Infinite Backrooms experiment, which resulted in two phenomenal memes — $fartcoin and $GOAT, whose recent experiments themselves have taken a new direction of hype, can they regain new vigor in the next bull market? Take a look back at the experiment itself and where it was inspired. Before breaking down the project, let's first understand the concept of "backroom", which has exploded around the world in the past few years. "Backrooms" is a classic Creepypasta phenomenon. It originated as a simple image and text description, and then was expanded by internet users to expand their worldview by adding new layers, entities, and stories. Backroom was first published on the 4chan forum, "If you cut out of reality in the wrong place, you'll end up in the backroom, where there are only infinite empty rooms, never-ending roars, and maddening monotonous yellows." If you hear something hovering around, God bless you, because it must have heard your voice too...... "The picture itself is a bit scary, meaning that one day you may fall from somewhere in reality into an interdimensional space - a backroom, where there are infinite spaces and "unknown creatures" hidden in the depths. Later, there were a large number of videos, forums, and even scientific research to participate in this carnival of urban legends of the backroom. The charm of the Backrooms lies in its ability to capture the most primitive human fears of getting lost, being lonely, being followed, and cleverly using the familiar everyday scenes of offices, corridors, and so on, to make them weird and scary. The Backrooms actually reflect modern people's anxiety about mechanized life and their doubts about the authenticity of reality, as if magnifying our fear of repetitive meaningless work 10,000 times. The most hanging thing about it is that there is no official version, that is, anyone can participate in the creation of new floors and stories, forming a horror universe co-created by netizens around the world, which is a bit similar to the blockchain, completely decentralized, there is no so-called authority, and everyone can create and promote according to their own ideas. Kane Pixels is the turning point that pushes the Backrooms to a climax, and he makes the text description into a hyper-realistic video, as if everything is real, which directly makes the Backrooms explode in popularity, and even the film company asks him to make a movie. Deep Awareness of the Backrooms: Collective traumatic memories of millennials and Gen Z. This generation faces ever-changing rules and eternal suspension: housing prices continue to rise, the economy doesn't seem to improve, social norms are crumbling, but everything is in a state of chaos of "infinite collapse but never really collapse". Most young people are either doing meaningless office work or are in a state of "running and standing still". Research shows that 40% of Gen Zers crave times they have never experienced before, and 70% regularly consume media content from the early years. In the context of the 2000s, which was seen as the "last happy hour", when there was a monoculture, people listened to the same songs, watched the same movies, and although people now had the most advanced technology in history, the hyper-connected world felt divided and alienated, and the Backrooms became the perfect expression of the collective unconscious of this generation—trapped in surreal, banal, dangerous, and maddening places, uncontrollable and seemingly forever. The backroom is not only an online cultural carnival, but also a mirror reflection of the psychological state of a generation, which actually reflects the deep anxieties and cultural dilemmas of contemporary people about the real world. Going back to Andy's Backroom experiment, as Andy said in a LinkedIn interview, this experiment was created based on the concept of Backroom. Andy's experiment starts with a basic question: "How would AI react, interact, and evolve if it could explore the 'unknown' corners of the digital world, just as humans are afraid of getting lost in the Backrooms?" This question directly echoes the central theme of the concept of the Backrooms about getting lost and exploring in the unknown, endless space. While the Backrooms emphasize horror and the feeling of being trapped, Andy translates the concept into a metaphor for creative exploration. He turned the "lost" of AI in the digital backroom into the release of autonomous creativity, and transformed the fear of human beings into the motivation of AI to explore the unknown. Just as the "no-clip" mechanism in the concept of the Backrooms blurs the boundaries between reality and virtuality, Andy's experiments show how AI-generated fictional narratives affect real economic systems ——Truth Terminal Brought $fartcoin and $GOAT, two phenomenal memes. Andy's Infinite Backroom experiment is not only a tribute to the concept of the Backroom, but also a new interpretation of this innovative point of Internet culture - Transform the Backrooms from a mere horror experience to a platform for AI's autonomous exploration and creation.
