The gif created for ZÉR0 FUTUR{E} remakes Olia Lialina’s work Agatha Appears (1997) and incorporates ideas and visuals commonly used by Cepada: feminism, the representation of women in media, and celebrity. The work addresses celebrity as the theatre in which we project our needs as a society. Cepada’s Agatha–in this case Rihanna–somehow transcends that phenomenon by inhabiting a space/time tunnel, becoming immaterial, ever-changing, and tele-transporting, like information.
