ABSOLUTION
An institution offering a new service, similar to arcades and photo booths, can finally
satisfy one of the key needs of society - the desire to confess. The model of the
“Confession Booth” - is a synthesis of a city telephone booth and confession chamber.
The confessor enters the booth and uses the phone inside. FOR EXAMPLE, if you had
sinned against someone close to you - press 3. If you had sinned against yourself -
please press 4.
Previously formed sins appear in a catalog before the confessor. The one choosing,
can easily identify a sin from the provided list. The participant does not need to formulate
a sinful doing. In this way, the client is initially protected from dual meanings
an uncertainties. In the end of the virtual ceremony, the confessor receives forgiveness.
This method allows the absolution from sin to a maximum number of citizens.
