COUNTRY / United States
RUNTIME / 7’15”

Technology makes communication feel direct. But does it make it real? Who are we to each other without sharing a physical space, has it turned us more into strangers or neighbors? Do we live in a dreamland when we exist without flesh to flesh contact, but in a constant state of connection? Is this our new humanity?

Directed and shot by Liza Voloshin on 8mm film throughout downtown Manhattan, the film is a dance between sensory perceptions, the traditional fine arts and the way they bend with technology.
