Limerence
Description
Limerence explores the correlation between technology and human bonding, offering an intimate view of modern romantic escapism within the familiar scenario of a couple in bed with a laptop. Serving as a translator, a navigator, a transporter and a validator, the computer takes on the role of an external brain shared by two. It is a means by which the couple can visually experience each other’s thoughts, leading to a deeper level of understanding and a strengthening of their bond. Their fervent desire to portray themselves favourably to one another forms a feedback loop of mutual gratification for each virtual experience they share. This gives rise to a private reality that extends no further than the edge of the mattress they lay on.
