E-llusion combines three animated character portraits on screen with an interactive fiction, examining the social construction of success and failure through a satirical lens of institutional evaluation and a simulation aesthetic. Recruited by an anonymous organisation, visitor inspect three candidates for an unexplained role, interpreting each through everyday objects. As choices accumulate, the act of judgement turns back on the visitor, revealing the illusory nature of the success and failure binary.

《E-llusion》将屏幕上三段动画角色肖像与一段互动叙事相结合,通过对机构评估机制的讽刺性观察与一种拟真美学,探讨"成功"与"失败"的社会建构。观众受雇于一个匿名机构,负责审视三位候选人——他们所应聘的职位始终未被说明,观众只能借助日常物品去解读每一位候选人。随着选择不断累积,评判的行为最终转向观众自身,揭示出"成功"与"失败"二元对立虚幻的本质.
