Undershoot, sensitive data: Cristiano

Cindy Coutant (FR)

In Undershoot, sensitive data: Cristiano, soccer star Cristian Ronaldo is the center of attention. Using text commands, Cindy Coutant interacts with a virtual Ronaldo. She remotely feeds the character (input), who then acts and transforms the submitted text (output).
