This video art piece connects two distinct processes: the humanization of virtual forms, and the process of human motion capture technologies, which is a virtual movement that is disguised as “organic.” The video follows an interview with a psychologist working at a company aiming to investigate how virtual bots can be made human-like. This interview is interlaced with an intimate movement of animated characters. The connection between the parts examines the relationships between stimuli and responses, both human and computerized, and the power and control relations that subsequently develop.
