Companion is a video poem which examines the very contemporary issue of computer-mediated intimacy. The video focuses on the tension between being completely immersed and captivated by on-screen personas, and that moment of self-reflexivity when we realise that our actual companion is the screen itself. During the Covid 19 crisis many of us have been indoors by ourselves and were reliant of screens as a means of providing companionship. In a world where the virtual is supplanting lived experience we now have to ask ourselves if screen technology has become so ubiquitous that intimate relationships with them are inevitable, natural, and even preferable to instances of intimacy which involve physical co-presence?
