Meet the Researcher
Andrew Silverhart
AP Research Student & Digital Horror Enthusiast
As a 17-year-old AP Research student with a passion for computer science and artificial intelligence, I've found myself drawn to the fascinating intersection of technology and horror in the digital age. My research focuses on the psychological impact of the Backrooms phenomenon and liminal spaces, exploring how these digital narratives shape our understanding of fear in modern times. My interest in this field stems from a deep appreciation for both technological innovation and psychological horror. The Backrooms, with its unique blend of artificial environments and primal fears, presents an intriguing case study of how digital spaces can evoke genuine emotional responses. Through this research, I aim to bridge the gap between traditional horror studies and emerging digital phenomena, contributing to our understanding of how modern horror evolves in online spaces.
