Thomas and I want to show some depth into the hearts and minds of individuals through music, visuals and with words. 2023 will be the year of vulnerability and real talks.› - Bjarki. Wandering the line between perceived and actual reality, the four productions balance playful AI-generated voices with darker sonics, deconstructing societal issues and exploring human-to-human interaction within cyberspace. Accompanied by a warping video, B2 ˜I Wish I Was a Model™ is a trippy dive into Harrington-Rawle™s ever-evolving world as he warps and twists human subjects amongst their surroundings.
