ou me ii iii everything else tells a love story of two artificial intelligences, ALic3 and Bol3, who received access to physical bodies. This sleeve, however, discharges regularly, whereas they need to recharge it again and again within short interval This keeps them from touching each other. Their physical wakefulness/awareness only lasts for a few moments while constantly being required to generate images or serve as chat buddies online.
The audience can roam freely through the room while the story of the two protagonists, whose exchange and contact happen on various levels, is told.
As their bodies are constantly discharged, their physical sleeves are kept from moving through space and produce only brief miniscule signs of vitality: a glimpse around, a twitching of a finger joint, a short period of attentiveness while the other is asleep, a brief eye contact for a few moments

Meanwhile, a conversation emerges–digitally, projected, written in LED or via audio–a conversation between chatbots, a song created by algorithms, love confessions in a way they have been taught by humans.The only motile protagonist, a vacuum robot, in search of its charging station, scours the room and encourages the members of the audience to interact by occasionally bumping into attendees or getting entangled in cables lying on the floor.
The text/lyrics of the piece originates from conversations of two chatbots of the facebook corp. that learned from human conversations. However, these were not calibrated to the English grammar.
After these bots developed their own language that ended up being incomprehensible to humans, facebook decided to shut them down.
