Backrooms of reality

Not get somewhere, but nowhere.Further related to the above is the meaning of the phrase no clipping. In 1994 video game Doom II: Hell on Earth, the command IDCLIP enables the player to disable collision detection and, therefore, walk through otherwise solid objects and walls; then, the player is still inside the video game but outside of the gaming space. To noclip thus means to go through the gameable space and, as a result, end up outside of the map and its reality altogether.No Escape-ismAfter the map takes the place of the territory, there is nowhere else to go.On the one hand, the naive optimism of flat Earth theories which argue that the map of the world ends somewhere: one could swim or jump over it. On the other hand, the pessimism of the Backrooms’ architecture, for instance in Kane Pixels’ short-film adaptation, and its everlasting reproduction. The design of capitalist realism. According to the original 4chan post, the Backrooms are as small as three times the Earth’s surface area; in Kane Pixels’ found footage, the Backrooms are endless.More than a dystopia and a utopia, the Backrooms are another topos of reproduction: the capitalist utopia of any dystopia.Also, contrary to Marc Augé’s late-capitalist theory of space, where places are not effaced throughout, the Backrooms are the simulation of space too. The Backrooms do not represent the presence of another reality elsewhere but, rather, the absence of reality as such. The Backrooms are reproduced as if in order to hide that there is no more difference between places and non-places, subjects and spectators. It is the utopia, the u-topos, the non-place, of the screens.Kane Pixels’ Backrooms are nothing more than the 4D representation of an impossible exit from capitalism. Only images exit the Backrooms. Yet, the images are not from the

Working around the clock to bring wanderers one step closer to understanding the Backrooms… as well as reality itself.After extensive research of the Backrooms and its interdimensional nature, as well as consideration of various anomalies and oddities common in the Frontrooms, the Research for Interdimensional Fissure Traversal Tasks Group (R.I.F.T-TG) has proposed a theory on the existence of this liminal reality. This theory suggests that the Frontrooms phenomenon known as the “Mandela Effect” may be connected to the Backrooms and how it functions.[1]The Mandela Crossroads Theory, as it has come to be known, was first conceived by Lambda Team and members of the Science and Research Divisions after various instances in which operatives and other wanderers encountered across the Backrooms have claimed to remember things differently from how they truly are. For instance, individuals would claim they recognize certain places that do not (and/or cannot) exist outside the Backrooms. Others would recall events in the Frontrooms as extraordinarily different occurrences. Through these instances, λ-1 and a few researchers recalled the Mandela Effect, due not only to the similarity in circumstances but also the unusually high frequency of the phenomenon, which led to the collaborative formulation of the theory. What they proposed was that the Mandela Effect was, in fact, evidence of alternate realities, just as some have proposed in the Frontrooms.As is common knowledge, the Backrooms is a realm outside of normal reality. It is not even a reality on its own, but rather, an amalgamated one, consisting of various

On October 12, 1492, Italian explorer Christopher Columbus landed on the American continent. On July 20, 1969, American astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the Moon. On May 12, 2019, an anonymous user noclipped “out of reality” and ended up in the Backrooms. After Christopher Columbus’ pillars of Hercules and Neil Armstrong’s Kármán line, the threshold of the Backrooms represents now the furthest end of the world.At 10:07 PM on the 12th of May 2019, the anonymous user replied to a picture in a thread on 4chan’s /x/ section. The image, posted in response to a call to “post disquieting images that just feel ‘off’” on imageboard website 4chan, depicted an empty office space with yellowish wallpaper and neon lighting.In reply to the creepy image, the anonymous user wrote: “If you’re not careful and you noclip out of reality in the wrong areas, you’ll end up in the Backrooms, where it’s nothing but the stink of old moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow, the endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in.”Four years after the anonymous 4chan post, 3D models of empty office spaces and shopping centers are reproduced endlessly by Internet users on Reddit, Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. In analogy with the United States flag erected on the surface of the Moon, the green wallpaper and neon lights represent the reproduction of capitalism into the imaginary.The Backrooms are an example of liminal space (the word liminal is from the Latin limen, meaning “threshold”). However, in contrast to other liminal spaces, places of change and passage, such as doorways, escalators, lobbies, and hotels, the Backrooms are means without end. The architecture of non-places as such.As you noclip out of reality you do
