A cover of Gary Numan's "Are Friends Electric?" by Tim Eilers. Featuring the voice of poet Miles Ciletti.
One need never have to go out if you have a holographic room and electric friends to come and visit. The room can be any place, any time. Your electric friend can wear any face. But what to do when your friend malfunctions and wanders off? The holograms shatter and fade away as a digital pimp waits on the street. Smoking a cigarette.
Originally released on the album Replicas. Some of the images in the video were lifted from various Gary Numan albums. The rest of the images and animation were generated in After Effects. Recorded and animated in Northridge, California March 2011.
