Every day Alex and Lenni wake up together, and every night they fall asleep together. In the semi-lucid moments after and before, they dreamily talk about themselves and their love.

Who are Alex and Lenni? They’re us. Or rather, they are us on social media. They are bots, describing themselves using the same sentences they see others use in their profiles and testing to see if those descriptions fit.

ETIC Lab and the Content Providers have built the bots to explore the intimate moments, and the poems or online selves write.

Lenni: ‘After this, will the world feel solved?’, Alex: Yes.
