Love Under The Sign of Teletrex
The private lives of seven different lovers are eavesdropped on by their smart devices
Larry is leaving voice messages for his ex.
Chris and Lillian are arguing every night.
George and Henry are working through the boundaries of their open relationship.
Branwen is telling Will that she loves him for the first time.
But in the age of Teletrex, a high-tech capitalist surveillance system, even our most private conversations are no longer so private. Unbeknownst to these lovers, their harsh words, painful moments, and tender gestures are being monitored and recorded by their phones and smart devices, and, without their knowledge or permission, re-processed and rendered into advertising content.
In a time when corporations can reach into the most intimate areas of our lives, how do we know who to trust anymore?
