Colophon

This is a fictional satellite.

Sponsor is a satirical concept created for Deceit, an art project about the patterns of manipulation in institutional technology. There is no real recovery product behind this page. Nothing entered on this site — signup, checkout, or the chat widget — is stored or sent anywhere outside this browser tab.

Matches you with a "spiritual sponsor" who has access to your formation record, your location history, and your "relapse risk score." the sponsor gets a notification when you enter a liquor store parking lot. jake thought this would "make it easier to stay clean." jake didn't think about what happens when the sponsor is also struggling. jake didn't build a sponsor-for-the-sponsor feature. jake forgot.

If this project brings up something difficult, step away from the screen and contact someone you trust. In the US, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. For urgent danger, call 911. deceit.world/help has more real resources.

If you'd like to support the real, non-fictional project behind this page: ko-fi.com/deceitmedia.
