Ghost Writer

Whether we realise it or not, the tools we use to communicate, from spoken word to email, affect the content and tone of what we say, as well as the context of how our messages are received.

It is an exploration of a device’s character and our attitudes towards it.  This piece is a collaboration with Anthony Goh.
