Brief description
A Skype-like conversation occurs between father on the moon and daughter on Earth through the use of audio and image, by the use of microphone and camera. Stanley Kubrick brilliantly predicts future communication, precisely our present. A feeling of vulnerability and lonliness is sensed as the father - present on the moon - replies to her young daughter's wish - present on Earth - that he will unfortunately not be present at her party.
The technology is allowing reciprocal communication, and as such both parties are equally active in their interaction with the technology.Â
