THE BIG NEIGHBOR
In a post-pandemic, lockdown world, on the cusp of a 21st century characterized by illusory technological grandeur, drowned under the crushing weight of "networks", everyone is searching for meaning.
It is the story of everyone, of every human being, confronted with the modern world, the twists and turns of the Internet and a cyber-civilization with incomprehensible contours. It is the search for truth in a sea of disinformation in which it is no longer clear who controls whom.
This "best of all worlds", fantasized in literature for decades, is embodied by Names and K-Ubik in music, in a joint creation that combines technological exploration, modern writing, traditional instruments and rousing sounds. In search of what makes each of us human, whether we are online or offline.
