Discover the Fascinating Memory Pollution Exhibition

The Memory Pollution Exhibition is an immersive showcase that delves into the blurred lines between memory and reality. Visitors will confront intriguing themes such as the Mandela Effect, AI hallucinations, and the uncertain traces left between testimonies and recorded history. The exhibition invites attendees to experience various displays that prompt the question: "How much of our memory can we truly trust?"

Invitation to Participate in the Memory Ability Test

As a prelude to the exhibition opening on August 2, a web-based experience titled "Memory Ability Test" has been launched. This test aims to evaluate participants' memory capacities and has been carefully curated by renowned personalities, including author Yuu Shinada and Tokikiru's Haruharu.

• - Free to Play: This engaging game is completely free of charge and can be accessed via your PC or smartphone.
• - Recommended Browsers: It is best enjoyed on Google Chrome or Safari. Please avoid using Private Browsing or incognito modes, as these may hinder your experience.

How to Play

Participants will encounter brief flashes of images and words after a three-second countdown. Your task is to memorize them and select the correct responses from the options presented.

About the Test

This test mimics an experience from the exhibition where you "stick a label on the right memory." Through four distinct stages, strive for a high score while gaining insights into your own memory capabilities. Feel free to retake the test as many times as you wish to improve your performance.

Launch of Exclusive Merchandise

The exhibition also introduces an array of official merchandise, including T-shirts and clear files featuring the main visuals. A unique lenticular sticker capturing the essence of the Mandela Effect offers a dynamic visual experience that can be enjoyed from different angles.

Additionally, a special pamphlet curated by popular horror author Rishi, featuring a limited-edition version, will be available. This definitive pamphlet documents the exhibition in detail, offering insights into the artworks and the creative process behind the event.

Exciting Tie-In with Upcoming Film "Backrooms"

The Memory Pollution Exhibition is thrilled to announce a collaboration with the much-anticipated film, "Backrooms," set for nationwide release on September 4. This film immerses viewers in an unsettling and disorienting space consisting of endless yellow wallpaper and hallways, evoking a sense of pervasive anxiety and fear.

Exclusive Screening for Ticket Holders

As a special bonus, those who purchase tickets for the Memory Pollution Exhibition will have exclusive access to a complimentary screening of the film "Backrooms." Fifty attendees will be selected through a lottery to attend this unique event.
