DJ Edee Dee aka Edward Gil-Deskur, is an iconic figure in Krakow’s club world, well-known to the participants of the KFF parties, too. Edward was born with congenital glaucoma and will soon completely lose his eyesight. In his adaptation to the new reality, he is assisted by AI, with whom he begins to form an increasingly closer relationship. Its voice accompanies him every day and, fed with information about Edward’s life, it is able to enter into a dialogue with him. Their conversations reveal worrisome visions of the future in terms of the relationship between man and the machine.
