Through the use of digital communication one can "connect" to another person across the world instantly and in real time. But, how does the use of digital communications affect the messages we are trying to convey? For five days I communicated with my friend solely by digital means, particularly the use of AIM. This project explores the idea of what is lost when using digital means of communication rather than in person. Here are three of the actual conversations that took place over "IM" and have been animated in order to represent the physical expressions and emotions of the people having the conversations. If you can't find the breakthrough statement I hope you at least thought they were funny.
