King Ed

Ed didn't just get dumped, per se -- but he did encounter a "relationship upheaval." And that break-up didn't leave him with crippling depression, necessarily-he's just not "emotionally thriving." His hunt for a cure leads him to the office of The Ketamine Oracle: an alternative therapist- slash-modern-day-myth who just might be addicted to some substances herself. Her drug-fueled visions reveal two things: that a) Ed fell for his ex-boyfriend Joseph when he heard the "perfect playlist" Joseph played on their first date, and b) that said ex-boyfriend did not, in fact, make said playlist. Instantly reinvigorated, Ed launches a search for the true author of the playlist, and the soul mate that awaits him.

What kind of images do we get of the world now that everyone is a photographer, and what does it do with how we unfold our identities? How has the internet both captured and freed us?
