A related sculpture, 'The Conversation,' depicts a woman FaceTiming with a film character. Over two days, the installation included talks, performances, and music. On October 15, Kirsty Sedgman presented on digital audiences, while designers Shona Heath and James Price explored spatial design. Performers included James Massiah, Lynda Dawn, and ENNY.
