A performative look into the tension between queerness and contemporary technology, consisting of a documentation of a performance in which Guy was translating their side of an old chat they had on Atraf (an Israeli gay dating app) from Hebrew to English as Google Translate instantly translated it into Arabic. The footage from the three screens - the chat, the Guy’s translation and Google’s one - is actualised in the form of another performance performed live by a computer via code.
