Plug & Play

Anthropoid creatures with plugs in place of heads are up to mischief. Instead of abandoning oneself to the dictates of the raised finger, they soon submit to themselves. But the fingers also finger around. Is it love? “Plug & Play” is entirely drawn with artist’s index finger using the integrated touchpad of a laptop. Directed and animated by Michael Frei.
