Dears are creature-like connectors that function as speculative telecommunication systems, materialised agents of the ongoing project Star Telephone. In a cosmic landscape where singular worlds are separated by a vast storm of speed and data, communication is pressured to be fast, clear, and productive. Yet, the clumsy, vulnerable language of love refuses to disappear.

Acting as physical, interactive audio nodes within this accelerated cosmic weather, Dears intentionally treats distortion, delay, and signal loss not as technical failures, but as emotional textures that reflect the (fr)agility of intimacy. By whispering into these entities' heart, accuracy surrenders to intention, and clarity to care.
