Hyperlinks or It Didn't Happen

2014 22min

HYPERLINKS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN is narrated by the failed CGI rendering of a recently deceased actor, PHIL, and follows a group of digital beings—render ghosts, spam bots, holograms—as they search for meaning. Multiple storylines and materials collapse and converge to raise questions about what it means to be materially conscious today and the rights of the personal data we release.
