Oli O Matic. Birthed by her own death. A failure at living, who becomes a failure at loving, with misapprehension, catastrophe and chaos laced through her entire mechanised being.
A car hits the daughter of an unhinged doctor. The emergency room heart rate monitor hits a flatline. The father of Oli unrelentingly persists, reviving his daughter at the expense of her biology, her emotions, his own mind… and his own life. With cutting-edge cyborg biomechanics provided by her oppressed father and the ever-watching, ever-monitoring and ever-monetising eye of her fathers bosses, the dystopian medical enterprise, Fenix Corp™, Oli O Matic sparks back into life, if you could call it life…
“Formaldehyde-laden blood in her wiry veins, held up by a skeletal infrastructure of complex titanium ‘bones’ and camera-lens eyes, Oli O Matic is Fenix Corp’s™ innovative and lucrative solution to sudden-death.”
The efforts of Fenix Corp™, however, failed to foresee one small aspect of her being… her entire mind, soul and emotional understanding of the world.
The uploading of Oli’s mind to an empty void of a cloud computer server meant that she manifested her consciousness in the only way she was able to. A dissociation between her mental dimension and the one she physically resides in, causes her to act in ways that her machine learning algorithms tell her is ‘normal’, with the Fenix Corp™ Firewall limiting her freedoms, keeping her chained to her wall by her wires. She sees the world as most of us do, through the internet…but also, through her music (and a series of Public Service Announcements with a retrofuturist, dreamcore/weirdcore twist).
