Four virtual characters share the screen like a cramped digital stage. Desperate to express themselves, they interrupt and talk over each other, competing for the viewer’s attention. Glitches warp their bodies, suspended in liminal, fragmented spaces. What emerges is a cacophony of voices and styles that reveals the impossibility of genuine communication.
The film was produced as part of a bachelor’s thesis using emerging technologies, including AI-assisted tools, motion capture, and low-budget 3D animation. These choices underscore both the creative potential of new media and the social and ethical tensions embedded in algorithm-driven forms of communication.
