Bita Joudaki’s Technimate is a non-linear series of scenes presenting private moments that are mediated by technological devices. In each scene a woman is found alone, usually in a domestic setting, with their gaze directed at a screen. Joudaki considers the contemporary experience of intimacy and communication that is simultaneously isolated from human interaction. Cinematography by Peter Hagge and Anna MacDonald.
