Haters will say I’m real (2024) takes the form of a podcast conversation between an actor describing a film role to an interviewer. As the conversation unfolds, it becomes clear that this show is set in a fictional near future as the pair discuss changes in the legal system driven by automation, technological development and the resulting ethical consequences. The film posits a hypothetical reclaiming of image rights: an assertion of control over a user’s image made through dance and specific coded movement that situates the person in their real environment. In the dance the performers revolve their phone over their body in a rapid series of poses described as an ‘edit’ because of its realtime mimicry of offline editing.
