Notes

This project is based on a short story by polish SciFi author Stanislaw Lem, called “The Mask“.
Roughly it is about a young woman, coming to consciousness, realizing that she is at a king´s court. She meets a young man and discovers, after short romance, that she is in fact a killer in form of an insect with artificial intelligence - built by the king to kill the lover.

The question of awareness in machines, a reoccuring theme in Lem´s work, has a special reading here. The woman/ machine develops a conscience here and in the end it´s open, if she can get rid of her programming.
