Feat.JULIE | Katerina Andreou
She says that when everyday rituals, living practices and working methods have to suddenly adapt to new rules, uncanniness may take over. A dive into the personal seemed to be a way out. Even if that demands an avatar to happen.

This video, created on the principle of found footage, is a performance through the interface of the online demo of a text-to-speech software.
In this dystopian and digital world, where the distance becomes an inevitable condition, an avatar is used as the only mediator of a discourse that flirts with narration.
The limit between who is performing and who is watching, who is talking and who is listening, what is personal and what is public, what is truth and what is fiction, gets blurry. And connection gets harder. Julie agrees.
