Strings

Ruini Shi (CN)

Strings is a poetic animation in the style of early computer games. In this setting the main character is in search of his lost love in an obsolete online game. The film tells a story about mediated intimacy by depicting a range of virtualized spaces or realms in a game, aiming to open up new ways of thinking about digitally mediated relationships.
