Hyperlinks or It Didn’t Happen
Cécile B. Evans, 2014, UK, HD, 22'

A poorly rendered CGI version of a famous actor and Hatsune Miku, a hologram and one of the biggest pop stars in Japan and guide the viewer through a nonlinear narrative filled with countless complicated layers and endless obscure and pop-cultural references. Evans is attentive to the ways in which the digital realm compels new relationships between physical reality and mediated image but at the same time Hyperlinks or It Didn’t Happen is a heartwarming story of love and loss.
