TAPECODE 9999.055
Isolation, surveillance, auto-eroticism and alienation. Telephones, computers, observation monitors and line fed devices preside over this tragic 1984 romance. A tape for "Big Brother". More information is collected and transmitted than ever before. This tape seeks to illustrate some of the consequences of our relationships with information technology. While the quantity of information on line is enormous the quality of the information itself remains as mundane as ever.
A man and a woman speak briefly on telephones while computers and surveilance cameras try to keep tabs on the action.
