trust-error is a study of uncertainty in digital systems, presented as a minimal website and a downloadable archive.

It simulates the conditions under which trust becomes necessary: incomplete data, absent sources, and interfaces that promise stability while withholding clarity.
Through minimal interactions, false reassurance, and silent system behaviors, the project reflects on the unseen dimensions of cyber conflict — not as spectacle, but as a persistent background state.

What remains is not evidence, but a feeling: the awareness that proceeding always requires belief.
