An Unbreakable Bond

Abstract

"An Unbreakable Bond" is the fictional story of Alice and her mother, and the everlasting bond between them made possible by the CNCT microchips. Their story is an exploration of a future in which surveillance plays a central role in human relationships by subverting our understanding of how we might communicate with those we love the most. The story of Alice and her mother will take us on a journey of a technological invasion into the closest relationships in our lives, into a world where individuals are both surveilling and being surveilled. It is also a story about an opaque ecosystem of public/private partnerships which begs the question: to whom do you turn to when something goes wrong?
