Inspired by internet culture, memes and recent pop culture moments, the performance goes back to the roots of our first encounter with digital avatars: the life simulation video game “The Sims”. 

Crafting moments of gameplay. Internet-Aesthetics of Vapourware, Cybersigilism and Chrome3D are deconstructed and we are virtually confronted with our phone and finally our own virtual body, that we meet in virtual space.
The performance was shown in the framework of the award show of the Best Austrian Animation Festival.
