You could hear the simulated crowd chant 'NOVA! NOVA!' between songs, but her eyes were always looking slightly past the lens. We thought we were watching a live concert in a distant stadium. We had no idea the crowd roar was a synthesizer loop. It was a collective, beautiful illusion. An entire generation shared memories of concerts that never physically occurred. -- Freya Tanaka "A soul is not exclusive to biology."
