The work she done has a story is based on a 1966 short story by Jorge Luis Borges or called "The Intruder."
The story is a grim tale of prostitution, fraternal jealousy, and violence against women in which two brothers fall in love with the same woman, share her, and sell her to a brothel.
It has an interesting way of presenting a story through a series of classic computer games.
What I like about this work is the way the it is created to have interaction with the viewer.

Man marries virtual girlfriend
The man, known only as Sal9000. He decided to marry the virtual girl from ‘Love Plus’ named Nene Anegasaki.
I can understand how Sal9000 can fall in love with a virtual girl since I do have feeling for girls that are just drawings. But, the difference is that I would not go as far as marrying a drawn girl.
For me, this feels like living with a programmed machine. I'm not sure whether Sal9000 likes Nene just because of her appearance, behavior, or expression in the game. Whatever may be the reason, it would be like someone falling in love with a concept idea that the creator implemented to his or her character.

Life-like RobotsActroid made in Japan present DER2, a life-like robots with human expressions and motions.
There are many other life-like robots made in other countries such as the United States and China, but this one appeals to me the most. The appearance of this Actroid looks very realistic to a real female.
This makes me wonder how robots living, interacting and communicating with humans will be like once they are fully operational. I am very curious on how the relationship between humans and realistic robots will be in the future.
Hopefully the future would not end up in an apocalypse prophecy in the movies of Terminator 1 (1984), 2 (1991), 3 (2003) or I, Robot (2004). Perhaps it would be more calmer and emotional similar to the movies of Bicentennial Man (1999) or Artificial Intelligence: A.I. (2001). Either way, I just hope that these robots will be made for doing things for the good.

Nyan Nyan
A YouTube clip that I found to be fascinating is the remix music video of a scene from an anime Macross Frontier. The one that originally caught my attention was the one that is about 9 minutes long with just the loop of an 8 seconds scene.

It is originally only a 8 seconds but it was probably so enticingly cute that people would create clips of different ways in repeating this scene, at least that's what I thought and felt about it.
This nyan nyan was introduced to me from my cousin. I was just playing cards with my other cousins until I suddenly heard "Nyan-nyan, nyan-nyan, nihao-nyan! Gorgeous, Delicious, and De-culture!" repeat, repeat, and repeat. This was the background music for our card game for about 3 hours.
