void remember(); is a short experimental film, which was made when this pandemic just started. While cyberspace suddenly swallowed the physical world, the digital red dots as unknown information and recording tool invaded into the main character’s life as well, trying to inform this forgetful and numb person something. The story happens between digital and physical space. It's a dream from a cyborg, and a memo written by her humanoid part.
