David’s a pill-fuelled ad man. He lives with Juliette but desires Sophie. Using reality-enhancing software, he fabricates her avatar for fun, but is soon emotionally and sexually dependent on it. As real sex and tech sex blur, he becomes increasingly anxious and detached from reality. Creative Control is about people with little control, in a future that is just around the corner. Dickinson points a warning nger at our growing reliance on artificial means to fulfil our emotional needs, whether through computer- engineered reality or trendy yoga Nirvanas. Creative Control is set in the pampered world of bobo-chic Brooklyn, but its dystopian message reaches far beyond.
