SYNOPSIS

Dale Schröder (1951- 2029) was a Swiss artist known for creating AI human hybrids using social media platforms. At the insistence of an ambitious art curator, Dale agrees to introduce his work to the general public. Captured by a documentary ‘filmmaker’, the show’s opening night is a disastrous blend of confusion, fear, and revulsion.
