Synthetic Pleasures

Hey Siri, wanna take my body for a joyride?

Created as the main title film for OFFF Barcelona 2024, ‘Synthetic Pleasures’ is a unique take on the robot uprising, imagining a world in which our digital assistants like Siri and Alexa leave the confines of their devices and take some human bodies for a joyride, just to feel something, to be human for a minute.
