This Afrofuturist poem by Princess Arinola Adegbite merges spoken word, digital imagery, and sound into a surreal meditation on technology and longing. Two lovers navigate separation through a liminal digital space shaped by algorithms, disconnection and desire. Moments of tenderness collide with the weight of global crisis and personal loss. The poem plays with language and time, forming a narrative where meaning constantly shifts. Adegbite collaborates with Adam Cain and Lois Macdonald, each exploring how AI and digital tools influence artistic practice. Their work questions how emotion, memory, and humanity survive in an increasingly virtual world.
